BT Ethernet Connect E-LAN
BT Connect
E-LINE EVCs are used to define traffic paths:
• Simple point to point topology, hub and spoke topologies
• If a full mesh is required all EVCs have to be defined including backup paths
E-LAN EVCs creates the mesh automatically
• Transparent L2 any to any connectivity without the headaches
• Class of service aware – 5 classes allowing optimal configuration & cost
• Multi-cast capable
• Any backup paths built by default
• Ethernet Connect E-LAN and E-LINE EVCs can be combined
E-LAN
E-LAN
Ethernet Connect E-LAN – Multi-Class of Service
BT Connect
• This class of service model has five classes of service from “High priority” to
“Low priority discard eligible”
• EVC bandwidth defined by site/VPN requirement
• Specified % of bandwidth eligible for high priority data
• Can send any data up to the purchased bandwidth
– Excess high priority packets policed out (discarded)
– Excess other priority traffic treated according to priority marking
• Traffic is treated in the following way:
802.1p Value
