Virtual Private LAN Service VPLS
What is VPLS? In telecommunications, Virtual Private LAN Service (VPLS) is a Layer 2 Ethernet Virtual Private Network (VPN) enabling the connection of multiple Ethernet sites over MPLS private or metro networks. With Virtual Private LAN Service VPLS, all sites appear to be on the same LAN regardless of their geographical location. Furthermore, each site has its own Ethernet VPLS that is completed segregated from other customers across the share carrier network. Virtual Private LAN Service VPLS was created to overcome the limitations and challenges posed by ATM and Frame Relay which included providing protocol transparent, any-to-any, fully meshed network across a Wide Area Network (WAN).
Virtual Private LAN Service VPLS is based on native Ethernet which simplifies the LAN/WAN boundary for both carriers and customers. Therefore, Virtual Private LAN Service allows for rapid provisioning with the flexibility to add or change bandwidth at any time because the service bandwidth is not tied to the physical interface. Virtual Private LAN Service VPLS supports a wide range of bandwidth speeds ranging from 1 Mbps to 1 Gbps in increments of 1 Mbps.
There are several benefits associated with Virtual Private LAN Service VPLS. Virtual Private LAN Service VPLS is transparent, protocol independent and offers a multipoint solution with a shared bandwidth pool for remote sites. With Virtual Private LAN Service, you are in complete control of switching and routing between sites. However, Virtual Private LAN Service VPLS offer a more simplistic approach to Wide Area Networking and therefore offers ease of management. Furthermore, Virtual Private LAN Service is cost-effective and offers scalability not found in other networking technologies.
