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. For customers who implement VPLS, all sites appear to be in the
same Ethernet LAN even though traffic travels across the service provider's network.
NOTE:
In ACX Series routers, VPLS configuration is supported only on
ACX5048 and ACX5096 routers.
