Abstract
Embodiments of the invention are directed to processing Virtual Private LAN Service (VPLS) packets. Each VPLS packet is processed in two stages. In a first stage Layer 2 and Layer 3 headers are parsed from the packet to obtain an Ethernet frame and Traffic management characteristics are determined according to the L3 header. In a second stage a type of Ethernet frame is determined, as either one requiring replication or not, and the Ethernet frame is forwarded in accordance with the TM characteristics based on the determined frame type. This approach allows for a modular implementation which provides enables high performance and efficient utilization of processing resources.
