Cisco EVC Building Blocks

Cisco EVC uses the following new concepts:
Ethernet Service Instance (S-I)
Transport-agnostic abstraction of an Ethernet service on an interface
Ethernet Virtual Circuit (EVC)

Device local object (container) for network-wide service parameters
Bridge Domain (BD)

Ethernet Broadcast Domain local to a device

Conceptual visualization of an Ethernet Service
An association of two or more UNIs
Three types:
Point-to-Point EVC (E-Line)
Multipoint-to-Multipoint EVC (E-LAN)
Rooted-Multipoint EVC (E-Tree)

Multiplexing
Bundling: More than one CE-VLAN on a UNI mapped to an EVC

All-to-one Bundling: All CE-VLANs on a UNI mapped to a single EVC
Service Multiplexing: Support multiple EVCs over a UNI; EVC selection
is based on CE-VLAN value

Support for Various EVC Types
E-Line:
Associate a point-to-point forwarding service to a Service Instance
Native Transport: Ethernet to Ethernet Local Switching (connect)
MPLS Transport: EoMPLS (xconnect)
E-LAN:
Associate a multipoint forwarding service (Bridge Domain) with S-Is
Native Transport: Ethernet multipoint bridging
MPLS Transport: VPLS
E-Tree:
Associate a rooted-multipoint forwarding service (Bridge Domain
with Split Horizon) with Service Instances
Native Transport: Service Instances
MPLS Transport: Service Instances and Pseudowires
