The telco/isp hands you an Ethernet drop using some sort of onsite equipment. What they use to deliver it is up to them. This is no different than ordering a T1 except rather than needing a T1 card in your router, you need an Ethernet port.

They can use any kind of platform - ATM, FR, etc. Whatever the costs drive them to use. Jay Dale I.T.

How is it simplified from MPLS if they have to have the MPLS in the first place? ________________________________ From: Jay Dale [mailto:jay.d...@3-gig.com] Sent: Tuesday, June 29, 2010 3:38 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: RE: virtual ethernet service I think it is MPLS but by hosting services rather than phone carriers, who would use the phone carrier's MPLS circuits as the backbone.

An over simplified MPLS?? ________________________________ From: Richard Stovall [mailto:rich...@gmail.com] Sent: Tuesday, June 29, 2010 3:30 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Re: virtual ethernet service Well, by extension, that seems rather simple. It's a four letter word that begins with t, followed by h, that ends with at. I find that very often things are explained by where you is at.
