VPLS reachability Information

Hello,

I am not able to understand following sentance:

"Cisco VPLS does not require the exchange of reachability information via a signaling protocol. This information is learned from the data plane using standard address learning, aging and filtering mechanisms defined for ethernet bridging."

regards

Devang

VPLS or Virtual Private LAN Service is a VPN technology that enables Ethernet multipoint services (EMSs) over a packet-switched network infrastructure. VPLS helps extend the reach of Ethernet further to be used as a WAN technology. As VPLS works over Ethernet the information for reachability is sourced via the normal Ethernet protocols and hence it doesn't require a mechanism of its own.
