VPLS
VPLS
Virtual Private LAN Service (VPLS), also called Transparent LAN Service (TLS) or virtual private switched network service, can deliver a point-to-multipoint L2VPN service over public networks. With VPLS, geographically-dispersed sites can interconnect and communicate over MAN or WAN as if they were on the same LAN. VPLS provides Layer 2 VPN services. However, it supports multipoint services, rather than the point-to-point services that traditional VPN supports. With VPLS, service providers can create on the PEs a series of virtual switches for customers, allowing customers to build their LANs across the Metropolitan Area Network (MAN) or Wide Area Network (WAN).
