Layer 2 Virtual Private Network, L2 VPN (VPLS Virtual Private LAN Service), offers a method for integration of several geographically remote offices into a metro/high-speed/multiprotocol/secure/ single network.
A unique feature of the solutions for establishment of L2 VPN (Layer 2 Virtual Private Network, MPLS VPLS VPN, Ethernemt VPN) is that it allows the use of various network protocols in corporate networks, which place stricter requirements to their own security and capacity. L2 VPN is not associated with specific IP networks and operates at Ethernet level. This means that if, for example, you are away from your office, then you can easily connect to your company's corporate network by means of your notebook computer.
Advantages Offered By the Use of VPLS Technology:
- Capability to use the entire spectrum of data transfer protocols;
- High security level because a customer network internal structure (even at IP subnets level) is only available to the customer and is customer-controlled;
- Data of any types can be carried via the network, including the data encrypted at channel level.
Therefore, the use of L2 VPN allows a full-fledged utilization of the existing network infrastructure and applications, as well as integration of VPN with Comstar United Telesystems' other services, such as, high-speed access to the Internet at up to 1 Gbps, high-quality new-generation packet switched telephony (Voice-over-IP), etc.
