What is difference between L2VPN and EVPN?

Current L2VPN technologies only support single-active multi-homing and thus cannot use available physical bandwidth by load balancing among all connected local PEs. EVPN supports both single-active and all-active multi-homing for Layer 2 and Layer 3 traffic along with load balancing.

What is difference between VPLS and VPRN?

VPLS offers a balance between point-to-point pseudowire service (Epipe, Ipipe, etc.) and outsourced routed services (VPRN). Unlike VPRN service, VPLS enables each customer to maintain control of their own routing strategies.

What is a VPLS circuit?

VPLS is an Ethernet-based point-to-multipoint Layer 2 VPN. It allows you to connect geographically dispersed Ethernet local area networks (LAN) sites to each other across an MPLS backbone.

What is network VPLS?

The virtual private LAN service (VPLS) is an Ethernet-based point-to-multipoint Layer 2 virtual private network (VPN) that enables you to connect geographically dispersed Ethernet local area network (LAN) sites to each other across an MPLS backbone.

What is difference between L2VPN and L3VPN?

Layer 2 VPNs virtualize the datalink layer (Layer 2) so as to make geographically remote sites look as if they were operating in the same LAN network. Layer 3 VPNs virtualize the network layer (Layer 3) so as to route your customer networks over a public infrastructure like Internet or Service provider backbone.

What is VPLS in network?

The virtual private LAN service (VPLS) is an Ethernet-based point-to-multipoint Layer 2 virtual private network (VPN) that enables you to connect geographically dispersed Ethernet local area network (LAN) sites to each other across an MPLS backbone. In contrast, a Layer 2 VPN forwards packets in point-to-point fashion.

What is VPLS in Alcatel?

Alcatel-Lucent’s VPLS service provides a bridged or switched Ethernet Layer 2 network. Equipment connected to SAPs forward Ethernet packets into the VPLS service. The 7750 SR participating in the service learns where the customer MAC addresses reside, on ingress SAPs or ingress SDPs.
