Global Ethernet Virtual Private Line

Ethernet doesn’t have to be restricted to your Local Area Network (LAN). With Telstra International’s Metro Ethernet Forum (MEF) certified global Ethernet Virtual Private Line (EVPL) you can easily establish robust network connections between company headquarters or data centres and regional offices across the globe. A number of scalable bandwidth options allow capacity to be increased gradually via ‘soft’ upgrades in line with business growth and changing needs.

Delivered over Telstra’s industry leading Multi Protocol Label Switching (MPLS) network, global EVPL establishes point-to-point or point-to-multi-point connections with in-built resiliency. Furthermore, a choice of service grades enables voice and other urgent data traffic to be prioritised as required.

By re-using existing equipment or purchasing relatively inexpensive upgrades, global EVPL can be deployed quickly and easily. Running costs are lower than traditional dedicated private line services, with performance backed by Telstra’s industry leading MPLS network. Strong fault tolerance is inherent to the service; if one route fails traffic is automatically re-routed with minimal service disruption.

Telstra now delivers MEF-compliant Ethernet Network Interface Devices (NIDs) as standard on all customer sites and Ethernet Media Convertors (EMCs) can be used where Ethernet access circuits into the customer premises are not available.
