Metro Ethernet Service Clause Samples
The Metro Ethernet Service clause defines the terms and conditions under which a provider delivers Ethernet-based network connectivity within a metropolitan area. This clause typically outlines the scope of the service, including bandwidth options, service levels, and geographic coverage, and may specify responsibilities for installation, maintenance, and support. Its core practical function is to ensure both parties have a clear understanding of the technical and operational parameters of the Metro Ethernet Service, thereby minimizing misunderstandings and setting expectations for service delivery.
Metro Ethernet Service. Metro Ethernet Service connects two or more locations with a familiar and proven technolo- gy. Ethernet Private Line delivers an end-to-end experience in a dedicated private line con- nection. Multiple Metro Ethernet services may also be connected. OPT-E-MAN offers you the ability to have multiple locations communicate with each other using a pure Ethernet solution over optical transport that connects your LANs within the same metropolitan area while supporting your many different types of business applications. OPT-E-MAN builds on the strengths of our network with Cisco equipment to provide you with scalable optical service within the metropolitan area. This service provides flexible bandwidth options, from 5 Mbps to 600 Mbps, to help you meet your growing Ethernet application needs. OPT-E-MAN supports many transport data configurations (point-to-point, point-to-multipoint, multipoint-to-multipoint). It uses physical and virtual connections to satisfy your specific busi- ness requirements.
Metro Ethernet Service. (“Service”) is a flexible transport service that uses established Ethernet transport technology. The Service provides connections between multiple Customer locations within a metropolitan area using native Ethernet protocol. The transmission speed depends on the Ethernet port (“Port”) selected and the amount of bandwidth ordered over the Port (“Bandwidth Profile”). Service extends to the Demarcation Point. “Demarcation Point” means the CenturyLink-designated physical interface between the CenturyLink-owned network and Customer’s telecommunications equipment. Service is available over three designs:
Metro Ethernet Service. The applicable Service will successfully meet the CoS Performance Objectives as outlined in Section 4.3 below during the duration of the testing period at a rate of not less than 99% of CIR.
