[j-nsp] VPLS on 12-port Fast Ethernet PIC

[Ihsan Junaidi Ibrahim]

Hi all,

Upon reading the JUNOS VPN Configuration Guide, I came to light that 
VPLS is not supported on the 8/12/48-port Fast Ethernet PICs. Where I 
work, we have quite a number of 12-port PICs that we plan to make use to 
deliver  VPLS service.

Given this fact, I'm curious to know what are those technical 
limitations of these PICs that make deployment of VPLS impossible. As I 
understand it, VLAN-tagged LACP operation are not supported on those 
PICs either which is also a bummer to our plans.

Say if we do VPLS on the 4-port PIC, do we get a switch (to act as a CE) 
to to trunk over our customers' VLANs and terminate them at our PEs or 
is there a better way to run up the VPLS deployment scale?
