Lets Get Technical
Business Ethernet Network (B.E.N.) connects a Customer site to the V+1 Core Network via an Ethernet Interface, using a Symmetrical / Full Duplex based service delivered to the Customer’s site.
The services can be provisioned at speeds ranging from 512/512Kbs through to 1Gbps/1Gbps although the maximum bandwidth available to the customer may be 5% less than the subscribe bandwidth due to the overheads for Ethernet transport.
Multiple VLANS can be supported on a single B.E.N. service and dedicated bandwidth policing is available per VLAN. Accordingly, only one or two VLANs are recommended per service.
Customer frames are transported over the Customer’s full duplex Telecommunications Line to the Access Network, which then delivers the traffic to the Core Network.
Contentions on the last mile transmission service are either 1:1 or 4:1
End to end Quality of Service is available on all B.E.N. services.
