</div>A VPLS instance is just like a regular Layer 2 broadcast<br>
domain.<br>

The same way you can cause loops in a switched network is<br>
the exact same way you can do the same in a VPLS instance,<br>
e.g., have a multi-homed customer who decides to connect<br>
using switches, and interconnects the switches without any<br>
kind of filtering.<br>
