FAQs

What is BSO’s Virtual Private LAN Service (VPLS)?

BSO’s VPLS connects your offices, data centres, and cloud environments over a single, private Ethernet-based Layer 2 network. It provides secure, low-latency connectivity between multiple locations using BSO’s global MPLS backbone - ideal for financial trading, AI workloads, and enterprise WAN modernisation.

How does a VPLS service work?

VPLS uses Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) to extend Ethernet frames across the provider’s backbone, linking your sites as if they were on the same LAN. Each site connects through a local port, allowing full broadcast and VLAN transparency with deterministic latency and QoS control.

What’s the difference between VPLS and MPLS?

MPLS operates at Layer 3, routing IP packets between networks, while VPLS functions at Layer 2, switching Ethernet frames. BSO’s VPLS uses MPLS as its transport layer, giving you Layer 2 control with the scalability and resilience of an MPLS core.

Why choose VPLS instead of VPN or SD-WAN?

VPN and SD-WAN solutions depend on the public internet and introduce latency variability. VPLS runs on a private backbone, ensuring predictable performance, consistent QoS, and isolation from public routing - perfect for mission-critical, latency-sensitive traffic.

Is VPLS right for my business?

VPLS is designed for organisations that need fast, secure, and predictable connectivity between multiple sites - such as financial institutions, media companies, cloud providers, and enterprises running hybrid infrastructure. It’s especially effective where real-time data, low latency, and privacy are non-negotiable.

What bandwidth and topology options does BSO offer?

BSO provides flexible configurations from 10 Mbps to 10 Gbps, with full-mesh or hub-and-spoke topologies. Each site can have customised VLAN, QoS, and redundancy settings to match its performance goals.

How does BSO ensure uptime and reliability?

Our 240+ global PoPs, Tier-1 upstream diversity, and proactive 24/7 NOC monitoring guarantee high availability. All VPLS connections come with SLA-backed latency and uptime targets to support continuous operations.

Can I integrate VPLS with other BSO services?

Yes. VPLS can interconnect seamlessly with BSO’s IP Transit, Ethernet Private Line, and Cloud Connect solutions - creating a unified network for private, public, and hybrid environments under one provider.
