1 Extraordinary UK Ethernet

2 Ethernet Guide. The world of 21CN Ethernet connectivity can be a daunting place. As one of the leading forces in Ethernet Aggregation in the UK, we've seen our fair share of poor product choices and bad deployments. As such we've created the following quick guide to help you make the right choices. Of course this is only the start, in the UK we are literally spoiled for choice and the logistics of managing several last mile providers to deliver large and complicated solutions often exposes you to unacceptable costs and management. We'd say that's where the real benefit of an Ethernet Aggregator can be found. Having already placed significant investment in place to transparently aggregate these carriers, our in-house Project Management and Support teams can alleviate these common issues and delivery these products to your network edge. Until such time that you do decide to outsource that headache, you've always got this handy guide to help you. Client Service Technology Downstream Upstream GEA FTTC/P Adaptive Adaptive Up to 20 Users (Small Office) Users (Medium Office) TalkTalk EFM (2 Pair) BT Etherway Copper BTW Etherway Copper TalkTalk EFM (4 Pair) 10Mbps Bearer Leased Line EFM (G.SHDSL.bis) EFM (G.SHDSL.bis) EFM (G.SHDSL.bis) EFM (G.SHDSL.bis) Pure Ethernet Adaptive ~10Mbps 35Mbps 35Mbps Adaptive ~20Mbps 10Mbps Adaptive ~10Mbps 35Mbps 35Mbps Adaptive ~20Mbps 10Mbps Vaioni's Choice Why? Although the BT Service can be considered the premium choice here, the competitive pricing upon the TalkTalk offering is often the deciding factor. That combined with a solid SLA to keep the client's mind at rest. At this level of office, guaranteed connectivity is the name of the game. Currently nothing touches the reliability of a pure ethernet service delivery on Fibre. 81+ Users (Large Office) 100Mbps or 1Gbps Bearer Leased Line Pure Ethernet 100Mbps 100Mbps Once again for large offices, we'd only really want to look at one level of service. That's got to be a Fibre Leased Line. As you can see, we've broken down connectivity into frequent use cases, highlighting some justification along the way. That said we all know that these things are driven by the bottom line as such the easiest way to identify the best product is to identify what products and providers are available for your target postcode. Gone have the days when your prospective supplier should talk simply in terms of bandwidth. As you can see from the above, there is a wide selection of products available and bandwidth alone certainly can't be used as the sole basis of connectivity justification.

3 What is Ethernet? It is a protocol which is transparent and delivers IP packets from one destination to another. We also use the word Ethernet to reference leased lines, Wide Area Networks and high performance internet services. Ethernet is the most common method of connecting a business to the internet or to other branch offices which is uncontended, high performance and which delivers a Service Level Guarantee. Ethernet is transparent to any protocol type or traffic type. So voice (SIP), video, applications, multicast and any other protocol/application/traffic type can flow across an Ethernet service, hence its popularity. Ethernet is also the most cost effective method of delivering high performance, uncontended internet/data services. Ethernet is a fast evolving enabler, giving businesses an opportunity to seize cloud and convergence.

4 What technologies do Vaioni deliver? Ethernet leased lines come in various shapes and sizes, but the end result is practically the same. So what are the technologies available to deliver Ethernet? GEA This is an Ethernet leased line service based on FTTC/P technology. GEA is delivered over copper (FTTC) and Fibre (FTTP). Speeds range from 1Mb up to 20Mb synchronous speeds at either 5:1 (default) or 1:1 contention. Lead-time is 13 to 25 working days, carries an SLA of 99.96% with a 7hrs RTT/fix time. Ideal for entry level, high performance, guaranteed connectivity for small businesses and branch sites. EFM This is an Ethernet leased line service delivered over copper technology. Inherently has resilience built-in because EFM is delivered over multiple copper pairs. Speeds range from 1Mb up to 35Mb synchronous speeds at either 1:1 or 5:1 contention. Lead-time ranges from 25 working days to 90 working days, carries an SLA of 99.96% with a 7hrs RTT/fix time. Ideal for entry level, high performance, guaranteed connectivity for small businesses and branch sites. Fibre This is an Ethernet leased line service delivered over Fibre Optic technology. Inherently has the lowest latency, jitter and packet loss statistics of all Ethernet technology. Speeds range from 1Mb up to 1Gb synchronous speeds at either 1:1 or 5:1 contention. Lead-time ranges from 35 working days to 90 working days, carries an SLA of 99.96% with a 6hrs RTT/fix time. Ideal for mid/high level, very high performance, guaranteed connectivity for larger businesses and branch sites.
