Wide Area Ethernet (WAE) 広域イーサネット is the delivery of high-speed wide area network (WAN) service using Ethernet connectivity. Essentially, WAE is really a virtual private network (VPN) service that simplifies linking remote locations. WAE is marketed as an alternative to traditional wide area connections such as leased line, frame relay or T1 services.

Wide Area Ethernet maintains our prime bandwidth and simplicity of Layer 2 Ethernet. The flat network design helps make the connected sites appear as a single logical network and simplifies connectivity to the headquarters and between remote sites.

(VPLS) delivers Layer 2 connectivity to any or all endpoints in a WAE configuration. VPLS enables the carriers to bring the various WAN connections (over either IP or MPLS networks) together as a single logical Ethernet network for the customer and allows administrators to define Service quality (QoS) levels for the wide area connection, to ensure that audio or video applications get their required bandwidth.
