L2VPN QoS and management

Service Levels

The service provider can create several Service Levels and associate one of them to a given VC. Each Service Level defines:

• Committed Information Rate (CIR)
• Excess or Peak Information Rate (EIR/PIR)
• Frame delay (latency) and frame delay variation (jitter) tolerance

A wide range of Service Levels enables the service provider to offer many differentiated and tiered service offerings, which can result in increased revenue potential and reduced churn. Implementing services based upon CIR and EIR parameters enables the service provider to fully monetize all of the available network resources.

Management

VCs can be provisioned across World Wide Packets’ solution in any one of three ways:

• Manual configuration through the Command Line Interface (CLI),
• Manual configuration through the Graphic User Interface (GUI) of World Wide Packets LightningEdge Network Supervisor (LE-NS) Element Management System (EMS),
• Automated end-to-end configuration using the Service Provisioning module of LE-NS – Network Management System (NMS).
