ABSTRACT:
A method, device, and system for providing multipoint network services over a ring topology network. According to the disclosed method point-to-point connections and point-to-multipoint connections are established between network elements (NEs) providing the same network services. These connections eliminate the need for replicating packets at a source NE and, as a result, the bandwidth utilization is significantly improved. In one embodiment of this invention the multipoint network services provided by the present invention is a virtual private LAN service (VPLS).
