Configuring PEs to Exchange VPLS Information as BGP Peers

BGP VPLS inherits BGP configurations in a large part and shares TCP connections with BGP. A major difference between BGP and BGP VPLS is that BGP VPLS requires PEs to exchange VPLS information as BGP peers in the L2VPN-AD address family view.
