MEF defines specifications for WAN services that already exist in the LAN space. These Ethernet services include point-to-point and multipoint-tomultipoint configurations, LAN services over VLANs, local networks over MPLS and LAN over IP. MEF has defined Layer 2 services for VPNs: E-Line to support point-to-point VPNs, E-Tree for point-to-multipoint connections and E-LAN for multipoint-to-multipoint VPNs. T-Systems Ethernet VPN solution portfolio complies with MEF standards.
Alternatives to Direct Links. IP VPN. The IP VPN solution IntraSelect is based on a T-Systems IP network for voice, data, multimedia and business applications. This Layer-3 platform delivers a host of additional functionality out-of-the-box, such as extranet, dial-in / RAS dial-in and security solutions. IntraSelect is the ideal solution for companies looking to source frequently used services from a shared platform in a straightforward way. Ethernet VPN. Ethernet VPN provides high-performance, secure connections for LAN-to- LAN links, for example between company divisions, data centers or telecommunications systems and of IT systems to SANs (storage area networks). This technology can also be used for international site-to-site connections. Companies can operate their Ethernet VPNs themselves and keep control over IP routers and IP addresses. Ethernet VPN offers the flexibility of high bandwidths up to several gigabytes per second, supports the prioritization of data traffic and can be implemented for diverse network topologies.
