GTS Ethernet
GTS Ethernet service is designed to help our Customers to meet the growing demand for ethernet transport technology in flexible and cost effective matter. This may be within a metropolitan environment or even where Customers looking to take raw bandwidth between their off-net sites over long distances with ethernet interfaces instead of traditional Leased Line services.
Service Contents
GTS Ethernet service is provided as an Ethernet line based service. The Ethernet line is based on the Ethernet Virtual Connection (EVC) between two End User sites (UNIs). GTS Ethernet service can be delivered in point to point or point to multipoint topologies with these two service variants:
- Ethernet Private Line (EPL) - port-based service perfect for connection of two sites. Consider EPL service if you require high level transparency and dedicated solution, which allows you to control all your protocols.
- Ethernet Virtual Private Line (EVPL) - port plus VLAN based service, which can be configured to support multiple EVCs on a single port. Consider EVPL, if you require solution for connecting many locations in a hub and a native-speaking LAN.
Upon the request, the GTS Ethernet service can be terminated via Ethernet Network to Network Interface (E-NNI), which enables our Customers to extend their Ethernet coverage over GTS CEE region over single Ethernet port or two with its redundancy.
