WAN Bottlenecks Easily Unclogged
Your Wide Area Network or WAN may be the bottleneck in your network when you have significant voice or data transfer between facilities. With lower line prices available, unclogging the WAN can cost less than you think and can unleash higher business productivity. Metro and Carrier Ethernet services from 10 Mbps to 1 Gbps give you the WAN bandwidth you need.

Carrier Ethernet is Available Now
Carrier Ethernet Services are already available in major metropolitan areas from competitive carriers such as XO Communications. You can order 10 Mbps Ethernet, 100 Mbps Fast Ethernet or Gigabit Ethernet connections to match your current network bandwidth.

Is Ethernet a Full or Half Duplex system?
The original Ethernet implementation was based on avoiding collisions on packets all sharing the same network line. Small networks using hubs are half-duplex. Switched Ethernet networks are full duplex because the layer 2 switches prevent packet collisions.

How does Spanning Tree Protocol work?
STP or Spanning Tree Protocol is a technique used by Ethernet switches to ensure that there is one and only one physical path from source to destination. This is done to prevent forwarding loops.

What is the Cost Advantage of Carrier Ethernet
Where available, Ethernet transport services from competitive carriers may cost less than half the lease price of DS3 service for over twice the bandwidth. The difference in cost between SONET optical carrier service and Gigabit Ethernet WAN service is even more dramatic.


10 Gig E Enterprise Bandwidth Connectivity
Extremely high bandwidth Metropolitan and Wide Area Network connections up to 10 Gig E, 100 GigE, Gigabit Ethernet, and Fast Ethernet are now available from competitive carriers in metropolitan areas. Easily scaled fiber optic options from 10 Mbps up and cloud connections are also available, including Managed SDN Software Defined Networking and SD-WAN, as desired.
