Product Overview
EonFibre Ethernet Backhaul is a digital data transport service specifically designed for inter PoP connectivity. It is a Layer 2 NNI to NNI VPN offering.
E-backhaul will provide transport of customer traffic encapsulated in Ethernet frames and is intended to be used primarily to provide backhaul linking between third party Points of Interconnect (POIs) or between POIs and nominated EonFibre Points of Presence (PoPs) where EonFibre has deployed Provider Edge switching/routing equipment.
POI and PoP locations may include:
- EonFibre domestic PoPs
- LFC Exchanges and UFB POIs where EonFibre has deployed suitable switching and transmission equipment
- International submarine cable landing stations and data centres where EonFibre has deployed suitable switching and transmission equipment
With Ethernet Backhaul customers can interconnect standard Ethernet Local Area Network (LAN) interfaces (1G/10Gbit/s/100Gbit/s*) within or between New Zealand cities. Both full rate and sub-rate service bandwidths are supported.
Ethernet Backhaul services can be used standalone providing connectivity between service providers' networks or as an intermediate componment, combining with a Wholesale customer’s own network facilities or services to provide a unique service to their end user.
Ethernet Backhaul is well suited to high-capacity converged networking applications where a mixture of traffic types (e.g. voice, video and data) must co-exist. Customers are able to prioritise traffic using up to four different Classes of Service (CoS). Hierarchical Quality of Service (QoS) capabilities present in the network elements permit differentiated treatment of traffic types crossing the network.
