VPLS (Virtual Private LAN Service)

VPLS (Virtual Private LAN Service)

is a layer 2 solution where routing is a function owned and managed by the customer.  In a VPLS, the local area network (LAN) at each site is extended to the edge of the provider network. The provider network then emulates a switch or bridge to connect all of the customer LANs to create a single bridged LAN.  VPLS is a way to provide an Ethernet-based multipoint to multipoint communication over IP or MPLS networks.

Northview partnering with Tier-1 carriers nationwide provide the opportunity to have Layer 2 point-to-point or point to any point.

 

WHEN IS VPLS THE RIGHT CHOICE?

  • The customer wants control of routing protocols
  • Wants to manage network neighbors and connectivity
  • Convergence times will be faster than MPLS VPN
  • A smaller, less complex network
  • Leverage existing Ethernet interfaces
  • Support for non-IP protocols
  • Support for IP multicast

ADVANTAGES OF VPLS

  • Routing flexibility and control.
  • Allows enterprises to quickly scale bandwidth from megabits and gigabits.
  • Protocol-independent, supporting IP, IPX, and other protocols.
  • Leverages Ethernet interfaces and enables enterprises to extend their local network into the WAN
