Virtual Private LAN Service and Virtual Private Wire Service - A Market and Technology Overview

Overview With IP or Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) running in the network core, two emerging Layer 2 VPN IP/MPLS architectures are generating high interest among service providers and enterprises-Virtual Private LAN Service (VPLS) and Virtual Private Wire Service (VPWS). This paper explores the business drivers behind VPLS and VPWS. It provides a description of layer 2 and layer 3 components that support VPLS and VPWS, as well as the hardware, software, management, and operational building blocks required.
