MPLS over PHY vs EFP+BDI/SVI

Testing pseudowires between devices where the core PE to PE interface is configured on either a physical interface (PHY) or on a logical interface (BDI or SVI) bridges via an EFP on the physical interface.

PPPoE is being tested over the pseudowire and a Y means it worked and an N means it didn't.

Original spreadsheet.
