L2VPN (Layer 2 Virtual Private Network)

L2VPN (Layer 2 Virtual Private Network) is a technology that creates a secure, private connection between multiple geographically separated networks at the data link layer (Layer 2 of the OSI model). It allows devices in different locations to behave as if they are on the same local network, enabling seamless data transfer, resource sharing, and communication. Essentially, L2VPN extends a private network across public or shared infrastructure, facilitating consistent network services while maintaining security and transparency for users and applications.
