Hi Monika, You can check with RFC 4761. Generally, NLRI for VPLS format is as following:
+------------------------------------+ | Length (2 octets) | +------------------------------------+ | Route Distinguisher (8 octets)| +------------------------------------+ | VE ID (2 octets) | +------------------------------------+ | VE Block Offset (2 octets)| +------------------------------------+ | VE Block Size (2 octets)| +------------------------------------+ | Label Base (3 octets) | +------------------------------------+ MAC address is not in the NLRI as L3VPN. So your can't expect to carry mac tables in NLRI. MAC learning is by flooding in L2VPN, not by carried in MPBGP as L3VPN.
