MPLS Versus Carrier Ethernet Services
Typically MPLS or Carrier Ethernet services are businesses with two connectivity options.
A few of years ago the prospect of replacing an MPLS connection made many networking professionals laugh. Today, it’s more common. With rising fees, there has been a shift to produce alternative networking options.
Depending on where your organization needs to connect to such as a remote office, your headquarters, or perhaps to a backup site at a branch – certain WAN connectivity options are better than others.
- Dedicated Ethernet connections which do not traverse the public Internet
- VLAN-based connectivity that combines voice, data, cloud services on a single handoff to each of your locations
- Creative configurations and topologies
- Quality of Service (QoS) prioritization by VLAN, packet type or destination
- Reliable and secure data transport
