DATA - MPLS VPN

VPNs (Virtual Private Networks) offer an affordable way to build an enterprise network that delivers the performance, security, and reliability of a dedicated private-line network. PAETEC's professionally managed MPLS VPN service uses the latest MPLS (Multiprotocol Label Switching) technology to provide your employees, business partners, and customers with secure access to your company's networks and data from virtually anywhere.

World-Class IP Backbone
Utilizing our advanced IP-over-SONET (Internet Protocol over Synchronous Optical Network) backbone, PAETEC's MPLS VPNs deliver benefits that include:

• Performance that rivals traditional cell switching infrastructures based on underlying ATM(Asynchronous Transfer Mode) architecture
• Reduced overhead and increased network performance
• Low latency and high packet throughput

MPLS VPN with QoS
Today, maximizing your available bandwidth by converging voice and data traffic is essential. PAETEC's MPLS VPN with QoS (Quality of Service) assigns "private labels" to your data, which identifies its destination and allows it to travel securely through our network. It also offers you:

• Prioritization capabilities that give precedence-and additional bandwidth-to time-sensitive applications like streaming video over applications where immediacy is less of an issue, like e-mail
• Virtual paths that ensure your data is completely separate from that of other customers
• End-to-end QoS at the customer edge and through the core
• The security of your data remaining entirely within PAETEC's private, national network-it never enters the public Internet

Enhanced IPSec
If you require an added level of security, the IPSec (Internet Protocol Security) capabilities of PAETEC's MPLS VPNs allow you to encrypt your critical data using DES (Data Encryption Standard), and 3DES (168-bit) encryption.
