Multiprotocol label switching virtual private networks (MPLS VPN)

In today's connected business world, enterprises as well as small to medium-sized businesses need to interconnect securely and privately between locations. Multiprotocol label switching (MPLS) enables the convergence of Ethernet, ATM, and Frame Relay onto one scalable network, which can reduce operational costs, network expenses, and capital costs while simplifying traffic management. Covad MPLS virtual private networks (VPNs) connect multiple sites using fast, reliable, and intelligent wide area network (WAN) connections.

• Covad manages its own national IP network based on MPLS technology
• Connect multiple sites across the nation, keeping your WAN traffic secure and protected within the Covad network, without traversing the public Internet
• MPLS VPN services are available on a wide range of Covad access services, including dedicated ADSL, SDSL, Ethernet over DS1, T1, Bonded T1, and DS3

 

Quality of Service (QoS)

Applications such as software as a service (SaaS), voice over IP (VoIP), and video conferencing are growing in demand. However, effective delivery of these services requires a carrier-grade IP network with the intelligence to differentiate among applications. Achieving the required Quality of Service (QoS) by managing the latency, bandwidth, and packet loss parameters on a network is the secret to a successful end-to-end business solution. Covad QoS is designed to support specific application requirements, balancing dedicated bandwidth, controlled latency, and managed packet loss to deliver the appropriate performance level for different value-added applications.

• Covad offers a QoS level to match your application and service requirements
• Enhance your solution performance to differentiate your services from your competition
