MPLS VPN Overview

Virtual Private Networks (VPNs) offer an affordable way to build an enterprise network that delivers the performance, security, and reliability of a dedicated private-line network. Our professionally managed VPN service can help you provide your employees, business partners, and customers with secure access to your company's data from virtually anywhere. PAETEC's VPN adheres to the latest industry standards using either MPLS with Quality of Service (QoS) or IP Security (IPSec), both of which operate on our highly secure, national
IP-over-SONET backbone.

World-Class IP Backbone
PAETEC's Private-IP services utilize a world-class IP backbone, rivaling traditional cell switching backbones that rely on underlying ATM architecture. An IP backbone reduces overhead and increases network performance, which in turn brings low latency and high packet throughout to ensure that your applications perform above expectations.

MPLS VPN with QoS
As voice and data communications continue to evolve, it's imperative to maximize available bandwidth by converging voice and data. With MPLS VPN with QoS, customer information does not travel over the public Internet; it remains wholly on PAETEC's private, national network. Private labels are assigned to customer data, identifying its destination, allowing it to travel securely through the network, and giving the ability to treat some types of information with higher priority than others. Additionally, these labels allow the information to remain separate from other customers' traffic, adding privacy and security.

IPSec
For those customers who require an added level of security, IPSec allows enterprise networks to encrypt critical data before it enters private-IP networks using DES and 3DES encryption.
