- Scalable Ethernet Using VLAN Stacking
- Thanks to the recent standardisation of long-range, high-bandwidth Ethernet interfaces, Ethernet can now be used in metropolitan networks. It can be said that Ethernet now offers the same bandwidth and range as traditional WAN technologies. However, adapted interfaces alone do not turn Ethernet into a WAN technology. A carrier-class network...

- Cisco IOS MPLS Virtual Private LAN Service (VPLS)
- This white paper explains the format for point-to-point L2 VPN services using Ethernet frames transported over an MPLS pseudowire, with LDP specified as the signaling and OAM mechanism for this point-to-point service. The performance of peer-to-peer applications benefits from being implemented over service provider networks that support multipoint network services.
