Virtual Private LAN Service: The New Challenge for LAN/WAN Connectivity

Overview This paper presents a technical overview of VPLS (Virtual Private LAN Service), its current state of the art, its strengths and weaknesses, and most important of all, several open issues and future research work. In the past several years significant technological improvements have taken place in the field of local area networks, including bandwidth jumps from a 10Mbps shared segment up to switched Gbps segments, as well as numerous enhancements in its availability and flexibility just to name a few. Throughout these years Ethernet has become the most widely deployed and ubiquitous local area network technology, not only due to those incremental speed advances, but also because of its cost advantages and simplicity.
