An MPLS service provider is offering a standard EoMPLS-based VPLS service to Customer A, providing Layer 2 connectivity between a central site and approximately 100 remote sites. Customer A wants to use the VPLS network to carry its internal multicast video feeds, which are sourced at the central site and consist of 20 groups at 5 Mb/s each. Which service provider recommendation is the most scalable?
A) EoMPLS-based VPLS already carries multicast traffic in a scalable manner.
B) Replicate the multicast traffic on the P routers.
C) Replace VPLS with a Layer 3 MVPN solution to carry the streams between sites.
D) Use GRE tunnels to carry the streams between sites.
