2.18.1 Feature Overview

The Multiple Linksets Support feature allows multiple linksets to be established between the vSTP and an adjacent node regardless of whether that node supports the multiple point code or not. The feature supports multiple Linksets to be established with single adjacent point code (APC). For more than one adjacent point code, the MLS feature requires vSTP to support the MPC feature.

Example:

The following figure illustrates a vSTP with 3 linksets assigned to the same APC, where each linkset uses a different TPC/SPC of the vSTP:
