摘要
Among all the metro Ethernet technologies,Virtual Private LAN Service(VPLS),a Layer 2 Virtual Private Network(L2VPN) technology,has drawn wide attention due to its simplicity,reliability,and ease of use.VPLS can implement multipoint-to-multipoint interconnection of Local Area Networks(LAN) in the wide area.Its core elements include the Label Distribution Protocol(LDP) based or Border Gateway Protocol(BGP) based Pseudowire(PW) setup and maintenance on the control plane,Media Access Control(MAC) address learning on the data plane,and PW encapsulation on the transport plane.With hierarchical architecture,VPLS enables cross-domain Virtual Local Area Network(VLAN) services.Benefitting from its unique technical advantages,VPLS supports a wide variety of applications including L2VPN for VIP customers,municipal communications infrastructure and personal distributed services.
