- Expanding VPLS services provide site connection options
- Virtual private local area network services VPLS have long been in use by an organization needing prime-time availability for an international wide area network or metro area network. VPLS puts Ethernet connections in point-to-point, multipoint, or multi-point to multipoint configurations. This framework for a geographically dispersed or global organization is a welcome architecture. One...

- Technical White Paper for VPLS
- The VPLS technology is a technology used to provide virtual Ethernet service over the existing WAN. Through membership discovery, PW establishment and maintenance, and MAC-based address forwarding in the VSI, it interconnects LAN sites across WANs and thus interconnects the LANs geographically scattered via the Internet. This paper introduces the...
