Hi Tim,

On the MX Series devices, there is extensive support for (MAC) tunneling 
and bridging of Ethernet frames across Provider Backbone-Bridges which 
include the use and integration with VPLS as a transport mechanism. 
You'll find extensive per-port VLAN tag manipulation and normalization 
features which include support for 802.1ad (Q-in-Q) and 802.1ah 
(MAC-in-MAC).

Take a look at the MX Solutions Guide which covers a lot of this in 
great detail -

HTHs.
