Layer 2 point to point is a cost effective and flexible
alternative to high bandwidth leased lines. Many
wholesale network operators have based their core
network infrastructure on Ethernet and use Layer 2

Virtual Private LAN services are growing in popularity for
delivering Ethernet services. They combine MPLS and Ethernet
allowing both customers and carriers to benefit.
VPLS is a newer protocol that works over MPLS and gives
customers a combination of the benefits. i.e. the ability to
operate a multipoint network AND pass all traffic at Layer 2
over the WAN.

Particularly suitable for large multi-site enterprise, i.e. retail chains,
which deploy a large number of low bandwidth sites or large
corporates with global offices.
– In the process of merging: IP/VPNs are extremely scalable for fast
deployment
– require ‘any to any’ connectivity: a shorter hop count between
two local sites is more efficient than – ‘tromboning’ back into a
central point. This is especially relevant for global networks where
latency is increased as packets travel over long geographical
distances.

– Transparent interface – no router hardware investment

-It is no longer necessary to manage complex routing
tables.
– Customers save money by terminating their WAN
connections straight in to a Layer 2 switch as
opposed to buying expensive routers to convert
Layer 3 back down to Layer 2

-Providers tend to provide only high bandwidth
circuits, i.e. 10 Mbps and above
– Point to multipoint is not supported.
required for bandwidth upgrades
– Layer 2 means that traffic is tagged by MAC address as
-Offers the same service guarantees services as Frame Relay or ATM
opposed to IP address
without requiring the use of any permanent virtual circuits (PVC).
– Low latency – switched as opposed to routed
– Supports Class of Service (COS) for traffic type differentiation
– Plug & Play for ease of deployment: no configuration
required for new sites which appear like new devices on a LAN.
– Closed user groups can be established between customers for
collaborative working

– Layer 3 IP/VPN’s are proprietary; one provider, one network.
– Not suitable for small networks; instead of buying one circuit
VPLS has not yet been rolled out globally therefore the “any to
between two points, customers have to buy two circuits to be
any” feature of Layer 3 IP/VPNs is not yet fully functional with a
brought into the private IP/VPN cloud
single provider.
– IP only; other standards cannot be used over the network without
conversion to Layer 3
