E-Line -> Site to site Connection

Metro Ethernet is an Ethernet transport network that provides point-to-point or multipoint connectivity services over a metropolitan area network (MAN). Ethernet originated as a LAN technology, and became a replacement for low-speed WAN technologies. BTC Metro is based on Multi-protocol label switching (MPLS) Technology, this technology enables faster delivery of data across the Metro network using labeled data packets.

This is a a point to point metro connection between two or more sites such as Data Centres. This connection can support speeds from 1M to 10G, 40G & 100G to be supported in future

Metro Ethernet connection options

E-LINE: Normally referred to as Point to Point connection, connects point “A” to Point “B”.
E-LAN: Normally referred to as Multipoint to Multipoint connection, each site communicates to another without going through the HQ.
ETREE: Normally referred to as Hub and Spoke, all services have to pass through the HQ before going to final destination.
MPLS Layer 3 VPN: uses a peer-to-peer model through a Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) to distribute VPN-related information. Routing information is outsourced to service providers.
