PipeEthernet™ provides speeds ranging from 10Mbps to 10Gbps , giving businesses more bandwidth for solutions like Disaster Recovery / Business Continuity, Software as a Service (SaaS) and convergence.

Committed Bandwidth
PipeEthernet™ gives you full speed on all circuits, all the time to ensure your applications deliver the performance you expect. The bandwidth ordered is set as the Committed Information Rate (CIR).

Solutions

PipeEthernet™ provides standardŐs based ethernet links that facilitate the delivery of solutions like:

  • Connecting end users to their service provider
  • Connecting an office with a data centre, to implement Disaster Recovery
  • Connecting multiple offices within the same city or offices spread across multiple cities
  • Interconnecting data centres

Ethernet links can be delivered based on a point-to-point architecture, referred to as Ethernet Private Line (EPL) in MEF terms, or a point-to-multipoint architecture, referred to as Ethernet Virtual Private Line (EVPL) in MEF terms, where PipeEthernet services are aggregated at one end.

In EPL architecture PipeEthernet provides All-to-One Bundling and supports multiple Ethernet Virtual Circuits (EVC), traditionally referred to as a VLAN, between the two end points (known in MEF terms as User Network Interfaces or UNI).

In EVPL architecture PipeEthernet consists of a single Provider Ethernet Virtual Circuit (EVC) between the two end points (UNI) with one end being the point for aggregation.

The bandwidth ordered is set as the Committed Information Rate (CIR) which provides your business with the ability to deliver QoS dependent services like voice and video to your end users.

PipeEthernet™ preserves Customer Edge VLAN (CE-VLAN) and Customer Edge Class of Service (CE-VLAN CoS) IDs.

Services are available in a range of speeds from 10Mbps up to 10Gbps, to meet the ever-growing demand for bandwidth.
