Ethernet link (EPL/EVPL)

Connect two places of business via a central and private network.

Connect your businesses

Connect two places of business via a local network with an Ethernet link, and benefit from a single common Internet output.

Entirely exclusive, this link remains limited to Videotron's private IP network and allows you to seamlessly extend your Ethernet traffic from one place of business to another.

Thanks to the installation of a dedicated optical fibre, the quality of this connection is ensured.

Our Advantages

An EPL-type Ethernet link allows your business locations to interact as if their equipment were directly connected to each other, and in an almost transparent way (VLAN and L2CP frames).

Our EPL solution provides you with an Ethernet port in each of your business locations, which allows the systematic sending of data (no dot1Q tag is required).

Characteristics:

  • Physical port-based service
  • Virtual local area network (VLAN) transparency (Q-in-Q)
  • Service category by OVC
  • Multicategory service by OVC
  • L2CP transparency
  • Management of Unicast, Multicast, and Broadcast
  • SLS (Service Level Specification)
  • MEF 2.0-certified
  • Active/passive high availability (LACP)

An EVPL-type Ethernet link allows you to extend your LAN network to all your places of business. This point-to-point (or point-to-multipoint) virtual connection boasts advanced features and the resilience of Videotron Business' MPLS IP backbone network.

How does an EPVL link differ from an EPL link? With an EPVL link, only a range of VLANs (which you determine) is transported on the service.

Characteristics:

  • Virtual local area network-based service (VLAN)
  • No transparency on virtual local area networks
  • One category of service per Ethernet connection
  • L2CP transparency
  • Management of Unicast, Multicast, and Broadcast
  • SLS (Service Level Specification)
  • MEF 2.0-certified
