What it is
MEF Certified 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.
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
