Appendix C. BRIDGE POINT-TO-
MULTIPOINT (BPM) OPERATION
C.1
Introduction
The overall intent of the Advanced VSAT Bridge Point-to-Multipoint (BPM) feature is to make
the Advanced VSAT equipment appear as a “Sky Ethernet Switch”. This allows for a greatly
simplified network deployment.
In BPM Mode, all L2/L3/L4 protocols, such as VLAN, MPLS, IPv6, OSPF, and BGP, flow through
the network as they would through an off-the-shelf Ethernet Switch.
