VPLS is primarily implemented to provide remote subscribers with an LAN-type connection over a virtual private network (VPN). VPLS supports most network connectivity types, including point-to-point, point-to-multipoint, multipoint-to-point and more. When subscribers log in to the virtual private LAN, they are provided with the features and impression of a standard LAN connection. The VPLS uses a VPN to create and manage connections and to move subscriber data within the network. Moreover, the subscriber can change location and still connect to the virtual LAN.
