1. A method of dynamically forming a network of virtual machines in a Provider Backbone Bridging (PBB) domain, comprising the steps of:

  • provisioning a first edge node of said PBB domain and a second edge node of said PBB domain to a common PBB Service Identifier (I-SID);

    propagating information to the PBB domain that said first and second edge nodes have been created;

    computing the shortest path between said first edge node and said second edge node; and

    propagating the computed shortest path to the PBB domain, thereby establishing a network connection between said first edge node and said second edge node.
