GTS Ethernet VPN

GTS Ethernet VPN

GTS Ethernet VPN service is a layer 2 Ethernet service, allows customer’s sites in different locations to easily interact over a wide area as part of a single meshed network. GTS Ethernet VPN service is provided on industry-leading multiprotocol label switching (MPLS) network. The GTS Ethernet VPN service can be implemented with variety of optional services such as Quality of Services (QoS), redundancy and on-line monitoring of performance parameters. The service allows our Customers to fully control routing and to carry any type of Ethernet traffic; not just IP-based protocols.

The service is provided in two variants:

• Ethernet Private LAN (EP-LAN) - port based service providing a high level of service frames transparency. Customers can nominate their own VLAN IDs (VLAN transparency) across End User Sites without any coordination with GTS
• Ethernet Virtual Private LAN (EVP-LAN) - port plus VLAN based service, which can be configured to support multiple EVCs on a single port at an End User Site. The EVP-LAN service variant provides limited service frame transparency

Upon the request, the GTS Ethernet VPN service can be terminated via Ethernet Network to Network Interface (E-NNI), which enables our Customers to extend their Ethernet coverage over GTS Central European region over single Ethernet port or two with its redundancy.

GTS Central Europe is a member of the Metro Ethernet Forum (MEF).More
