Abstract:
A method, system and computer readable medium for advertising and interoperating Layer 2 VPN services from an access node to a core network. The method can include executing, using one or more processors, a routing protocol on an access node to establish adjacency with a core network node in an access mode. The method can also include mapping, using the one or more processors, an access network Layer 2 service identifier to a core network service identifier. The method can further include advertising, using the one or more processors, a mapping for the L2VPN service to the core network node. The method can also include sending, using the one or more processors, network traffic from the access node to the core network node without core network encapsulation.
