Ethernet link (EPL/EVPL)

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

Simplicity

Thanks to our preconfigured solutions, the implementation of an Ethernet link is easy whatever your needs (EPL/EVPL) and the use you will make of it.

Transparency

Get end-to-end visibility: no need to synchronize your virtual networks with us.

Autonomy

Get full control of your activities (IP address, BGP, OSPF, and other routing protocols): the prioritization of traffic is all yours.

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
