Ethernet Virtual Private Line

Perhaps you plan to build a new network for video, voice and data convergence. Maybe you are adding another network provider for vendor diversity or your organization just desires more bandwidth. Regardless of your need, Level 3 Communications knows you need a trusted partner that can provide a scalable, cost-effective and broad coverage solution for your network.

Level 3^® Ethernet Virtual Private Line (EVPL) service is the new standard for building global packet-based MPLS networks. You’ll find Level 3 in the locations you need, with point-to-point and point-to-multi-point (hub and spoke) configurations. Benefit from a Layer 2 switched Ethernet service that is engineered to be congestion free, delivered over our secure and reliable MPLS backbone since 2003.

EVPL Benefits

• Networking environment designed for security over a dedicated MPLS core backbone
• Complete customer end-to-end control and security of WAN routing and protocol decisions
• Global reach supports your international expansion plans with simple site adds
• Nearly limitless solution possibilities with our purpose-built Ethernet services that provide service feature flexibility for Class of Service (CoS) levels, VLAN, and tagging capabilities
• Flexible usage-based billing component helps you manage costs and order what is needed — you pay for what is used
• Faster upgrades than with traditional bandwidth services

EVPL Service Details

• Point-to-point or point-to-multipoint connectivity for a secure, flexible, reliable private line alternative
• Flexible bandwidth (Committed Data Rate) ranging from 1 Mbps to 2 Gbps
• Smart Demarcation, a standard inline Ethernet network interface device at all customer locations, provides end-to-end connectivity fault management and remote testing
• Standard POP-to-POP SLAs with the ability to view, measure and validate metrics including: frame delivery, delay and delay variation, as well as mean time to repair.
• Optional Performance Assurance end-to-end SLAs available through Smart Demarcation 
• Up to six CoS levels to enhance bandwidth efficiency and utilization
• A usage-based billing component for greater flexibility makes it the right choice for backup and disaster recovery implementations.
• Layer 2 EVPL and Layer 3 IP VPN interworking provides high-speed Ethernet services for very large locations like data centers, and MPLS IP VPN services to interconnect smaller sites requiring low-speed access such as T-1/E-1 or DSL.
• WAN protocol support via Layer 2 service allows any Layer 3 WAN protocol, such as IPv6, IPX, SNA and DECnet, to give you freedom to leverage legacy, emerging or proprietary WAN services
