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 T3 (also spelled Internet T-3) is a broadband Internet connection that transfers signals at a rate of 45 Mbps. Both Internet T1 and T3 services are highly-reliable circuits that are usually guaranteed by a Service Level Agreement.

Voice over IP (VoIP) sends voice data in packets using the Internet Protocol (IP) instead of analog waves as does plain old telephone service (POTS) lines.

MPLS is a standardized data switching technology that optimizes network traffic flow and eases management of data networks. MPLS carves specific paths data packets that are identified by a label that saves the time needed for a router to look up the address to the next node in order to forward the packet. MPLS works with the Internet Protocol (IP), Asynchronous Transport Mode (ATM), and frame relay network protocols. MPLS allows most packets to be forwarded at the layer 2 (switching) level rather than at the layer 3 (routing) level and makes it easy to manage quality of service (QoS).

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.

Digital Subscriber Line Service (DSL) has become a very popular Internet access service. This is because DSL uses the existing copper pairs that already exist between most customer premise offices and the local phone company central office (CO). A DSL connection is set up between a DSL modem at the customer premise and a DSL access multiplexer, or DSLAM, at the phone company central office. Both voice and data can be run across the same DSL connection by using a filter to separate voice traffic from Internet traffic.

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.

Have you been frustrated trying to find telecommunications information on the Internet? Are descriptions of services unclear and so carrier specific that you do not trust the content? Telecom Links understands that there is a shortage of clearly-written information about the myriad of telecom services available today. Consequently, the Telecom Links mission is to be the most comprehensive source of telecommunications information on the World Wide Web.

MPLS makes it easier to manage network for quality of service (QoS) because packets can be prioritized by business importance. For example, Voice over IP (VoIP) can be prioritized over email and web browsing packets.
