Stands for: Backbone Edge Bridge

An edge device in an Ethernet fabric that encapsulates traffic into the backbone.

A Backbone Edge Bridge (IEEE 802.1ah) sits at the boundary of a provider-backbone or SPBM fabric, wrapping customer frames in backbone MAC headers so the core forwards on backbone addresses - the entry and exit points of the fabric.
