EoMPLS

EoMPLS is the most popular form of VPWS/AToM.

Some unneeded headers are removed from the frame in transit.

Preamble and Start of Frame Delimiter (SFD)

Frame Check Sequence (FCS)

In Ethernet port mode, all VLAN information is transmitted, but the VLAN tag may be overwritten on the egress PE

Ethernet Virtual Circuits (EVCs) define aspects of attachment and virtual circuits

Frame matching based on one or more VLAN tags

Optional VLAN tag manipulation

Traffic forwarding

Additional services, such as QoS policies

Redundancy for the tunnel

Redundant remote PE routers

Redundant attachment circuits to the CE

Redundant Pseudowires

If the path between the PE routers can be repaired with the IGP, the original PW will be rerouted.

If the failure prevents repair of the primary PW, it will switch to the backup PW

two-way redundancy there are two PEs on both sides

Full mesh of PW

Only one PW will be active, the rest are in standby

Requires Multi-Chassis Link Aggregation Group (MC-LAG)

Interchassis Communication Protocol (ICCP) is used to form the redundancy groups
