Layer 2 VPN Services (L2VPNS) connect an agency’s multiple sites in a
single bridged domain over our managed MPLS core network, regardless of the
access network type. The service supports wide area Ethernet transport in
accordance with the Networx requirements. Agencies will be able to
acquire point-to-point, point-to-multipoint and multipoint-to-multipoint
Ethernet services over a common infrastructure.
Two L2VPNS options are available: Virtual Private LAN Service (VPLS) and
Virtual Private Wire Service (VPWS). VPLS allows agencies to extend their
Ethernet or any LAN securely throughout the entire WAN. VPWS provides
point-to-point connectivity (virtual connections) across the our network.
L2VPNS is an optional service offering in both the Universal and Enterprise
contracts.
