Traditional VPN
Traditional VPNs based on asynchronous transfer mode (ATM) or frame relay (FR)
are quite popular. They share the network infrastructure of carriers. However, they
have some inherent disadvantages:
Dependence on dedicated media: To provide both ATM-based and FR-based
■
VPN services, carriers must establish two separate infrastructures across the
whole service scope, one ATM infrastructure and one FR infrastructure.
Apparently, the cost is very high and the infrastructures are not utilized
efficiently.
Complicated deployment: To add a site to an existing VPN, you have to modify
■
the configurations of all edge nodes connected with the VPN site.
MPLS L2VPN is developed as a solution to address the above disadvantages.
