Your LAN anywhere _
BSO’s Virtual Private LAN Service (VPLS) extends your local network across global sites with guaranteed low latency, high availability, and full control over traffic flows. Built on our MPLS backbone, it’s the simplest way to connect offices, data centres, and cloud environments as one seamless Layer 2 domain. Ideal for AI, trading, exchange and crypto businesses, as well as other high-demand server-based sectors.
OUR SERVICE
VPLS built for multi-site, low-latency operations _
What it is: A Layer 2, multipoint-to-multipoint service that extends your LAN across offices, data centres and cloud regions over BSO’s MPLS backbone.What it delivers: Deterministic latency, traffic isolation, and real-time control of VLAN/QoS across a multi-homed, Tier-1 backed global network.
Create a fully meshed, multipoint-to-multipoint network where each location connects directly to BSO’s global backbone. Configure dedicated ports and define your own latency, redundancy, and speed parameters - whether on-net, off-net, or on-premise.
Manage VLANs, QoS policies, and multicast traffic on demand with full Layer 2 transparency. BSO’s VPLS simplifies complex WAN topologies into one controllable, SLA-backed private network.
What you get _
Layer 2 transparency
Present sites as one broadcast domain-no overlay gateways or tunnel sprawl.
Traffic engineering
Define QoS/CoS, multicast, and VLAN behaviour per site or per application.
Resilience by design
Diverse paths, protected options, and automated failover across geo-separated PoPs and IXPs.
Route contro
BGP communities and policy-based controls for deterministic paths where it matters most
Global scale
Anywhere-to-anywhere reach via 240+ PoPs; on-net, off-net, or on-prem handoffs.
SLA-backed performance
Latency, jitter, and uptime targets monitored 24/7 by BSO’s NOC.

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.
