Abstract: In one embodiment, a plurality of virtual private local area network services (VPLSs) are operated among a plurality of packet switching devices, with the plurality of VPLSs including a first VPLS and a different second VPLS. In response to a conversion declaration including a particular Service Instance VLAN ID (I-SID), the first VPLS corresponding to the particular I-SID is converted to a different type of virtual private network (VPN) service, while continuing to operate the different second VPLS which is not related to the particular I-SID. In one embodiment, the different type of VPN service is Provider Backbone Bridging Ethernet VPN (PBB-EVPN). In one embodiment, the conversion declaration is a Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) Network Layer Reachability Information (NLRI) of Route Type 3 Inclusive Multicast Ethernet Tag (IMET) route.
