Which option is an advanced WAN services design consideration for a multipoint architecture that connects two or more customer devices using Ethernet bridging
techniques over an MPLS network?
A.
VPLS
B.
Metro Ethernet
C.
MPLS
D.
SONET/SDH
Explanation:
Virtual Private LAN Services (VPLS) is a class of VPN that supports the connection of multiple sites in a single bridged domain over a managed IP/MPLS network.
VPLS presents an Ethernet interface to customers, simplifying the LAN/WAN boundary for Service Providers and customers, and enabling rapid and flexible service
provisioning, because the service bandwidth is not tied to the physical interface. All services in a VPLS appear to be on the same LAN, regardless of location.
VPLS uses edge routers that can learn, bridge and replicate on a VPN basis. These routers are connected by a full mesh of tunnels, enabling any-to-any
connectivity.
Virtual Private LAN Service (VPLS) is a way to provide Ethernet-based multipoint to multipoint communication over IP or MPLS networks. It allows geographically
dispersed sites to share an Ethernet broadcast domain by connecting sites through pseudowires.
