This document describes how MAC filtering programmed by the IEEE multiple MAC registration protocol (MMRP or 802.1ak) can be employed by VPLS-PE devices as the exclusive mechanism for interworking with 802.1ah PBBNs. No new protocol standardization is required to do this, however there are small procedural changes associated with the interworking of protocols.
