Ethernet Express_

BSO Ethernet Express is a specialised Layer 2 service that provides a unique emulation of a Layer 1 connection over an ethernet network. In other words, it simulates the characteristics of a physical Layer 1 connection, even though it operates at the Layer 2 level. This service is commonly used for high-performance and low-latency data transmission requirements.

BSO Ethernet Express is configured as follows:

Single Unprotected Linear Circuit: The primary configuration of BSO Ethernet Express involves setting it up as a single unprotected linear circuit. In this setup, data travels along a specific path through the network. There are no built-in redundancy or protection mechanisms along this path, which means that any disruptions or failures along the circuit could lead to downtime or interruptions in the data transmission.

Additional Redundant Circuits: To enhance reliability and provide failover capabilities, BSO Ethernet Express offers the option to include additional redundant circuits. These redundant circuits act as backup paths that run parallel to the primary circuit. If the primary circuit encounters any issues, the data traffic can automatically switch to one of the redundant circuits, ensuring continuous data transmission.

BSO Ethernet Express supports a speed range from 10Mbps to 10Gbps. This means that the service is capable of providing data transmission rates starting from a minimum of 10 megabits per second and going up to a maximum of 10 gigabits per second.

However, it's worth noting that while the standard offering of BSO Ethernet Express includes speeds up to 10Gbps, the actual supported speed may vary depending on the specific market or geographical location. In some regions or markets, the infrastructure or network capabilities might not support the full range up to 10Gbps.

The maximum capacity of BSO Ethernet Express based on the provided idea is 1Mbit/s (megabit per second). The service operates with a non-oversubscribed capacity, which means that the capacity purchased by a customer is also provisioned without any oversubscription.If you purchase 1Mbit/s of capacity, you will receive a dedicated 1Mbit/s provisioned capacity, ensuring that the full purchased capacity is available to you at all times without any sharing or contention with other users.
