Ethernet White Papers

Advanced QoS White Paper

Overview An Ethernet service that is becoming more attractive to end-users is the Virtual Private LAN Service (VPLS) or Provider Provisioned Virtual Private Network (PPVPN).VPLS enables Service Providers (SPs) to deliver Virtual Private Network (VPN) services based on cost-effective Ethernet, with the same level of support and reliability as existing services that use Frame Relay and ATM. The advanced QoS and shaping features on some newer Ethernet switches enable these devices to be positioned as access devices into Virtual Private LAN networks and for SPs to offer the Service Level Agreements (SLAs) that customers rely on for end-to-end data delivery.
