What is L2 VPN?
A Layer 2 VPN (L2VPN) creates a direct data link between two sites over a shared or public network. It essentially extends a local area network (LAN) across a wide area network (WAN). Commonly used to connect geographically separated offices or data centers, making them appear as if they are on the same physical network. This allows for the transport of any Layer 2 protocol, like Ethernet, and supports technologies such as VLANs across the WAN.

MPLS
MPLS is a core technology enabling L2 VPNs. L2 VPNs often use MPLS as the underlying transport mechanism to forward traffic across the network.
