The PE border router is made aware of the composition of each PE router mesh group. From the data plane, each PE router mesh group is viewed as a virtual pseudowire LAN. The border router is configured to interconnect all of the PE router mesh groups belonging to a single VPLS routing instance. To interconnect the mesh groups, a common MAC table is created on the border router.
Unicast packets originating within a mesh group are dropped if the destination is another PE router within the same mesh group. However, if the destination MAC address of the unicast packet is a PE router located in a different mesh group, the packet is forwarded to that PE router.
