MCI Canada's Private IP Service is a network-based virtual private network (VPN) that lets you communicate across a private Internet Protocol (IP) backbone. Based on the industry standard Multi Protocol Label Switching (MPLS) technology, Private IP provides highly scalable connectivity options and a simple any-to-any network design that can grow with your business and converge your traffic onto a single network infrastructure.

Features and Capabilities

MCI Canada Private IP Service offers:

• Scalable network solutions that connect via any-to-any configurations, streamlining network planning and expansion
  
• Classes of Service (CoS) that let you dictate how traffic is handled across the network, giving priority to your mission-critical traffic applications that require low latency and low jitter, i.e. Voice Over IP (VoIP)
  
• Global coverage, with coverage in over 70 countries giving users access to the network from multiple locations
  
• Canadian billing
  

Verizon's MPLS Leadership

Verizon adopted MPLS on a large scale in 1998 as a traffic engineering technology on our public Internet backbone. As a leader in MPLS development, Verizon is a principal member of the MPLS and Frame Relay Alliance.

MCI Canada’s Private IP Service offers cost-effective network optimization and simplification with any-to-any connectivity. The MPLS-based service is highly scalable and modular, delivering reliable IP routing with enhanced flexibility. CoS enables convergence of video, voice, and data.

With Verizon’s MPLS technology, MCI Canada Private IP Service delivers:

• network edge routers to apply simple IP labels to packets or frames
  
  
• standards-based service based on RFC2547
  
  
• the security, stability, and predictability of Layer 2
  
  
• the flexibility and scalability of Layer 3
  
  

MCI Canada’s service allows for phased migration to IP, so that your transition can be evolutionary or revolutionary. It allows you to utilize your existing network resources while employing your existing Customer Premise Equipment (CPE) and labor skill set to apply next-generation wide-area network (WAN) technology

Benefits for Your Business

With MCI Canada’s Private IP Service you’ll benefit from:

• Exceptional Service: Private IP Service offers 24-hour monitoring, award-winning customer service, and industry-leading service level agreements (SLAs).
  
  
• Any-to-Any Connectivity: Multiple locations are connected within your VPN using MPLS technology. You no longer need PVCs to communicate between sites; rather, you simply send their information to IP addresses.
  
  
• A Cost-Effective Solution: Since Private IP Service can utilize existing network resources you achieve connectivity at a lower cost than building and operating a private VPN from the ground up.
  
  
• Intranets and Extranets: Private IP Service captures the enhanced networking efficiencies associated with an IP-based WAN, bringing together all the elements needed to support e-business applications within one company or between many companies.
  
  
• MPLS Technology: Private IP Service provides varying CoS and flexible IP routing that optimize your network’s performance.
