SMARTPACK VPLS provides support for VPLS as sell as PWE3, which can be used  by Telecom Equipment Providers to quickly develop VPLS support as well as accommodate any changes or new features that might arise.

SMARTPACK VPLS is a series of SMARTPACK Solutions implementing Pseudowire Emulation End-to-End (PWE3) and Virtual Private LAN Service (VPLS) support, for transport of Carrier Ethernet Services over existng MPLS networks.   

SMARTPACK VPLS solutions are based on the TPX3103 Carrier Packet Engine.  

Carrier Packet Engines combine packet processing and traffic management in a single chip solution allowing efficient switching and forwarding of various packet data protocols. The Carrier Packet Engine supports not only VPLS, but also IP, MPLS, T-MPLS and Ethernet. It can thus provide a reliable and resilient packet transport layer in support of various packet based services  It can also support PBT/PBB-TE should this be required to implement a gateway function between various networks.

High-level Driver with API software is provided in both binary and source code to ease integration. The software provides easy to use API interfaces providing an intuitive abstraction from the FPGA design complexities. The software also implements a wide range of forwarding plane functionality in support of VPLS providing complete control of the data plane.
