Gigabit Ethernet Service - Ethernet Virtual Private Line (EVPL)

Overview

Verizon Business EVPL is a point-to-point service, similar to frame relay. Examples of typical applications well suited for Verizon Business EVPL are Internet access, IP-VPN access, data center hub-and-spoke networks, and aggregating Ethernet traffic.

Benefits
 

• Scalability. Port speeds ranging from 10Mbps to 1000Mbps (GigE) offer scalability, as agencies can tailor speed to requirements and grow as necessary.
• No Protocol Conversion. Native Ethernet handoff for minimal custom training/CPE (no protocol conversion required).
• Any-to-Any switching. supports numerous sites and configurations.
• Security. Unique VLANs assigned per customer provides security by segmenting customer's traffic over the shared network.
• Monitoring. Full-service monitoring (24x7) to the network interface device on customer premises.

Features
 

• Point-to-Point Connectivity. Customers can connect numerous sites by using multiple point-to-point Ethernet virtual connections (EVCs), just as they do with frame relay and ATM services today.
• Granular Bandwidth. Customers can obtain the exact amount of bandwidth they need in each class of service for a given EVC, using the options listed below.
  • Low speed: 1 to 9 Mbps, in 1 Mbps steps
  • Medium speed: 10 to 90 Mbps, in 10 Mbps steps
  • High speed: 100 to 1000 Mbps, in 100 Mbps steps
• Multiple Classes of Service. Support for more than one class of service per EVC greatly simplifies the customer router configuration and provides a streamlined solution for enterprise applications and customer access to IP-VPN services. EVPL service offers customers three class of service options, described below. Customers can order any combination of these classes of service on a given EVC.
  • EVPL-Real Time (EVPL-RT) is designed for packet voice, video, and other customer applications requiring minimal levels of frame delay, frame jitter, and and the highest levels of frame delivery performance.
  • EVPL-Priority Data (EVPL-PD) is designed for customer dlata applications requiring less stringent frame delivery performance, with looser requirements for frame delay.
  • EVPL-Basic (EVPL-B) is designed for customer data applications that require require standard levels of performance, and where cost per megabit per second is the key requirement.
