VPLS improved convergence time for multihomed sites

You can improve the convergence time for VPLS multihomed sites by configuring the best-site statement at the [edit routing-instances routing-instance-name protocols vpls site site-name] hierarchy level and the mac-flush statement at the [edit routing-instances routing-instance-name protocols vpls] hierarchy level.

The best-site statement designates the site as the most preferable site for the provider edge (PE) router. The mac-flush statement enables media access control (MAC) flush processing for the VPLS routing instance or for the mesh group under a VPLS routing instance. MAC flush processing removes MAC addresses from the MAC address database that have been learned dynamically. With the dynamically learned MAC addresses removed, MAC address convergence requires less time to complete.
