Hi,
I have configured VPLS in VPP somehow like this link
<https://lists.fd.io/g/vpp-dev/message/9112?p=,,,20,0,0,0::Created,,vpls,20,2,0,18122864>
.

In addition to the above configurations, I want to add a second vlan tag
i.e. 802.1ad (QinQ).
To achieve this, I entered following command in both PEs:
          *"Set interface l2 tag-rewrite GigabitEthernet5/0/0 push dot1ad
12"*

Tracking what's going on, I found that the first PE adds the QinQ tag (12),
but the second PE will not remove this tag and afterward it goes to error
node with this message:
            *"l2-output: L2 output tag rewrite drops"*

Here is what *show trace *shows in the second PE:

If you notice red underlined trace, 802.1ad tag 12 (in hex 0C) and 802.1q
tag 6 (in hex 06) has been added to packet.


I inspected the code in /src/vnet/l2/l2_vtr.h  * l2_vtr_process()*
function      and /src/vnet/l2/l2_input.h   *vnet_update_l2_len()*
function,   but I couldn't find any problem.


MY QUESTION: Is it a bug in code that the 802.1ad tag is not removed?? Or
should I have entered more commands?

Thanks in advance
