Hi,<br />
<br />
We're having several office locations for our company, and would like to make some sort of transparent LANs on all these locations, so as if location X has 192.168.1.0/24, location Y would have the same subnet etc.<br />
<br />
We're using MPLS to uplink all our locations at this point, so I was looking for some possibilities doing these over MPLS tunnels. I quickly found out about VPLS, and it seems to be doing exactly what I need it todo.<br />
<br />
At this point, Im looking for products to do this with. I need some gateways/routers to hook up with our MPLS routers and have the gateway/routers do vpls over the mpls tunnels.<br />
<br />
Any suggestions?

VPLS over MPLS

A router is a networking device that forwards data packets between computer networks. Routers perform the "traffic directing" functions on the Internet. The most familiar type of routers are home and small office cable or DSL routers that simply pass data, such as web pages, email, IM, and videos between computers and the Internet. More sophisticated routers, such as enterprise routers, connect large business or ISP networks up to the powerful core routers that forward data at high speed along the optical fiber lines of the Internet backbone. Though routers are typically dedicated hardware devices, use of software-based routers has grown increasingly common.

Networking hardware includes the physical devices facilitating the use of a computer network. Typically, networking hardware includes gateways, routers, network bridges, modems, wireless access points, networking cables, line drivers, switches, hubs, and repeaters. But it also includes hybrid network devices such as multilayer switches, protocol converters, bridge routers, proxy servers, firewalls, network address translators, multiplexers, network interface controllers, wireless network interface controllers, ISDN terminal adapters and other related hardware.

A virtual private network (VPN) is a network that uses a public telecommunication infrastructure, such as the Internet, to provide remote offices or travelling users access to a central organizational network securely. VPNs encapsulate data transfers using secure cryptographic methods and other security mechanisms to ensure that only authorized users can access the network and that the data cannot be intercepted.
