Designing and Implementing Ip/Mpls-Based Ethernet Layer 2 VPN Services: An Advanced Guide for Vpls and VLL

Today's communication providers are looking for convenience, simplicity, and flexible bandwidth across wide area networks-butwith the quality of service and control that is critical forbusiness networking applications like video, voice and data.Carrier Ethernet VPN services based on VPLS makes this a reality.Virtual Private LAN Service (VPLS) is a pseudowire (PW) based, multipoint-to-multipoint layer 2 Ethernet VPN service provided byservices providers By deploying a VPLS service to customers, theoperator can focus on providing high throughput, highly availableEthernet bridging services and leave the layer 3 routing decisionup to the customer.

Virtual Private LAN Services (VPLS) is quickly becoming thenumber one choice for many enterprises and service providers todeploy data communication networks. Alcatel-Lucent VPLS solutionenables service providers to offer enterprise customers theoperational cost benefits of Ethernet with the predictable QoScharacteristics of MPLS.
