MPLS VPNs transport layer 2 packets across the network and encapsulate transport protocols such as ATM, Ethernet, and SONET, allowing MPLS networks to seemlessly upgrade and replace legacy layer 2 networks without requiring network reconfiguration or using protocols higher than layer 2. In comparison, layer 3 VPNs must use the layer 3 Internet Protocol (IP).
An Internet T1 (or T-1 line) is a digital, dedicated local access connection supporting data rates of 1.544 Megabits Per Second (Mbps) that can be channelized into 24 individual channels that each provide 64 Kilobits Per Second (Kbps).
Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) service that sets up telephone calls over the Internet that are often billed at a flat rate and leverage subscribers existing broadband Internet connection. This saves money in that only one connection is needed for both voice (phone) and data (Internet) service.
The ADSL downstream receiving rate from the Internet usually varies from 1.5 to 9Mbps while the upstream sending rate usually varies from 16 to 640 Kbps.
Ethernet can be used to connect twisted copper pair networks and to connect fiber optic cable networks.
Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) is a data network protocol that uses Class of Service (CoS) to prioritize different types of data packets across a shared network to facilitate the convergence of voice, video and data applications.
A major feature of Internet over Ethernet is the ease in which you can upgrade from 1 Mbps to 1 Gbps. Simply call your Internet Service Provider (ISP) and ask for an upgrade and it can be provisioned almost in real time. This service is the future of Internet access for the foreseable future.
DSL service is delverd as Asymmetric DSL (ADSL) which is the most common application for Internet access, where fast downstream is required, but slow upstream is acceptable, and as Symmetric DSL (SDSL) which supports high speed access across the local access loop in both directions.
High-speed microsave and satellite Internet connections for business can replace or back up traditional terrestrial landlines such as Internet T1s and Digital Subscriber Line (DSL) service. With wireless Internet service in place as your primary or backup Internet connection, you can always count on low-latency connection to the Internet that means you will have an "always up", "never down", "zero outage" service that eliminates wasted time and increases productivity.
If you are looking for clear, concise definitions of telecommunication terms and explanations of telecom services, especially how they are used and how they work, TelecomLInks is a great place to start.
Layer 2 MPLS VPNs (L2VPNs) are similar to Frame Relay, Asynchronous Transfer Mode, or point-to-point Wide Area Networks (WANs).
