IP Infusion Adds VPLS to its Routing Suite

IP Infusion has added support for Virtual Private LAN Services (VPLS) to its ZebOS Advanced Routing Suite. The company said its VPLS implementation supports the IETF VPLS draft submitted by Marc Lasserre and Vach Kompella. VPLS allows multiple customer sites connected across a MPLS network to share a single bridged domain. So, all customer sites appear to be on the same LAN regardless of their geographical location. Unlike Layer 2 VPN (draft Martini), VPLS supports multipoint-to-multipoint VPNs, allowing service providers to quickly connect three or more VPN sites together. IP Infusion is offering ZebOS VPLS as a modular source code solution to OEMs. The company also released an enhancement to the Linux implementation of 802.1d MAC bridging in its source code. ZebOS Layer 2 Protocol Offering is Linux-based and includes support for 802.1d Spanning Tree.
