L2 P2P

Our Layer 2 Point-to-Point (L2 P2P) services provide dedicated, high-speed connectivity between two locations over our secure fibre network. Ideal for linking offices, data centres, or critical infrastructure, it delivers low latency, high reliability, and consistent performance.

Private, Scalable Ethernet Connectivity Across the UK & Europe

Rocket Fibre delivers high-performance, low-latency Layer 2 Point-to-Point (P2P) connectivity between any of our on-net locations. Built on our carrier-grade Juniper MX architecture, these circuits provide transparent, secure Ethernet transport — supporting EVPN, pseudowires, and advanced encapsulations for modern, scalable networking.

Whether you’re interconnecting data centres, extending your LAN, or connecting to a remote Internet Exchange (IX), our Layer 2 offering is engineered for resilience, scale, and speed — with bandwidth options up to 400Gbps.

What We Deliver

Rocket Fibre’s Layer 2 service enables:

Transparent Ethernet bridging with optional QinQ

EVPN for scalable, redundant Layer 2 overlays

Pseudowire (VPWS / EoMPLS) for traditional L2 P2P

Optional VPLS for multi-site bridging

Support for custom encapsulations
(802.1Q, QinQ, MPLS, EVPN)

Supported Technologies

Juniper MX-Powered Core

All Layer 2 services are provisioned over our Juniper MX MPLS platform, offering predictable performance, rapid provisioning, and high resiliency.

EVPN (Ethernet VPN)

Modern Layer 2/3 VPN services that support MAC mobility, active-active multi-homing, and broadcast containment.

Classic Pseudowire
(VPWS / EoMPLS)

Transparent point-to-point Ethernet tunnels over MPLS for legacy or direct L2 extension use cases.

VPLS Support

Available on request for multi-site transparent LAN bridging.

This built-in protection ensures that your services remain available and performant, even during large-scale attack events.

Service Overview

Why Rocket Fibre?

Extend to IXPs and partners globally without deploying your own PoPs

Scalable to 400Gbps with ultra-low-latency pathing

EVPN, MPLS, and pseudowire support for advanced designs

No interference with your IP layer — Layer 2 transparency by design

Built for carriers, hyperscalers, and modern enterprises

Ideal Use Cases

Remote IX Access

Connect to major Internet Exchanges like LINX, AMS-IX, DE-CIX, and France-IX from any Rocket Fibre on-net location — without the high cost or logistical burden of deploying your own infrastructure in those sites. We extend your network directly to the IXP, transparently and securely.

EVPN-Based Data Centre Interconnect (DCI)

Build resilient, multi-site fabrics with active-active redundancy and MAC mobility.

Cloud & Storage Extension

Extend Layer 2 networks to public/private clouds or support disaster recovery replication with predictable, high-speed paths.

Carrier or
FTTP Backhaul

Efficiently move large volumes of edge or access traffic to core aggregation hubs.

Transparent LAN Bridging

Seamlessly bridge VLANs across sites without IP routing, ideal for legacy systems or broadcast-sensitive services.

Wholesale Ethernet Access

Ideal for ISPs, CDNs, and MSPs delivering last-mile or metro connectivity to customers or peering partners.
