MPLS-Based Layer 2 Virtual Private Networks
Overview While Virtual Private Networks (VPNs) based on Frame Relay or ATM circuits are common, the costs of maintaining separate networks for Internet traffic and VPNs and the administrative burden of provisioning VPNs have led to alternative solutions. This paper identifies one of several alternatives: namely, one in which the VPN is constructed on MPLS-based Layer 2 circuits. The paper further explains how Juniper Networks, Inc. delivers solutions to resolve Layer 2 VPN requirements. In an MPLS-based Layer 2 solution, the service provider, maintain and manage a single MPLS-based network on which one can additionally run standard best-effort IP, Layer 3 VPNs, traffic engineering, Diffserv, and many other services in a converged network.
