White Paper Abstract:
This document focuses on multipoint Ethernet services, specifically Virtual Private LAN Service (VPLS), it should be remembered that Ethernet may also be used to deliver Layer 3 VPN as well as Layer 2 point-to-point VPN services. This is important to note because, although Multipoint Layer 2 VPN provides a valuable service, other services such as Layer 3 VPN that may also be delivered using Ethernet, provide unique attributes that may be a better fit for the enterprise's requirements.
