Metro ethernet is avaiable to all our on-net sites by virtue of running a next-generation MPLS network. All sites feature redundant connectivity over leased dark fibre.
What is Metro Ethernet?
Metro Ethernet, an MPLS pseudowire, or a Datacenter Interconnect, is a transparent Ethernet circuit between a pair of locations; emulating a direct ethernet cable between your devices on either end. The connections will pass all Layer 2 protocols such as CDP and spanning tree as well as your VLAN tags (including your own QinQ or double tagged frames).
