If a PW is down, MAC addresses flushed locally and individual MAC deletion messages are sent to the MCT Peer. This is similar to the Layer 2 CEP port-down handling.
All MAC addresses tagged to the PW client are flushed.
If MCT 2 detects that MCT 1 is down or if the session is down, all VPLS MAC addresses learned from MCT 1 are flushed.
