The Internet Solutions “Multi Protocol Label Switching Virtual Private Network” (MPLS VPN) is a corporate service that offers managed secure connectivity between corporate sites. MPLS technology replaces traditionally older technologies such as a Layer 2 Switch network as well as a Wide Area Network (WAN) with a fully-outsourced world-wide de facto MPLS VPN.
The MPLS VPN solution allows for traffic to be differentiated according to class of service parameters over the IS backbone. The classes of service are referred to as VoIS, Video Conferencing, Multimedia, Platinum, Gold and Silver. The benefit of the class system allows for information going through the network to be prioritised based on the service selected. Each class of service comes with a set of service level agreements based on latency, availability, packet loss and jitter.
The MPLS solution ensures that business-critical traffic is unaffected by other traffic types and simultaneously maintains cost-efficiency by allowing customers to utilise lower, less expensive classes of service where appropriate.
Live statistics specific to each customer’s MPLS VPN are available online through the IS Customer Zone.
