Layer 2 MPLS VPN

With a Layer 2 MPLS VPN, the MPLS network allows customer edge (CE) routers at different sites to form routing protocol neighborships with one another as if they were Layer 2 adjacent. Therefore, you can think of a Layer 2 MPLS VPN as a logical Layer 2 switch, as depicted in Figure 2-1.
