Business Ethernet Network Services

What it is

MEF 3.0-compliant Ethernet links locations, remote sites, data centers and corporate LANs for high-speed, secure and dedicated-capacity connectivity with the option to retain routing control.

E-Line to connect point-to-point or hub-and-spoke

Path efficiency: Uses the shortest path available at the time to deliver traffic to a designated endpoint

High point-to-point performance: Provides automated, dynamic, point-to-point routing, enabling high performance and efficiency

Predefined path option: Allows use of a predefined path within the United States to a designated endpoint to provide predictable latency between two or more sites in the United States for consistent application performance

Failover path option: Available as a restorable or unprotected connection that can be used to define a backup (failover) path for application delivery assurance

E-LAN for the flexibility of any-to-any connectivity

Standard connectivity: Can standardize connectivity for dispersed offices and locations, such as in any-to-any regional networks

Routing control and security: Uses Media Access Control (MAC), or physical, addresses for routing

Options to connect every aspect of your organization
