Description
AT&T Switched Ethernet (ASE) is a Layer 2 transport service that transmits Ethernet traffic among multiple locations that provides Point to Point or Multipoint configuration options. AT&T Switched Ethernet uses industry-standard native Ethernet interfaces, and offers speeds ranging from 2 Mbps to 100 Gbps with a variety of Class of Service (CoS) options.
ASE uses a carrier-grade, Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) backbone network to transmit Ethernet traffic. This network makes the AT&T Switched Ethernet Service highly reliable; in fact, the service provides network availability and data performance Service Level Agreements (SLAs).
ASE offers a feature capability for Network on Demand, which provides an ability to provision and scale bandwidth from a client facing portal. AT&T Switched Ethernet Network on Demand (ASEoD) provides user-friendly, web-based network configurations and management. Think of Network on Demand as a feature associated with our ASE architecture.
With ASEoD customers are able to:
- Meet peak needs – Ramp up your bandwidth when you need it for special events, projects or tests via access to our ASEoD customer portal
- Reduce costs – Ratchet down your bandwidth during slow periods such as vacations or holidays via access to our ASEoD customer portal
- Reconfigure network – Make changes to your topology and EVC configurations in near real time via access to our ASEoD customer portal
ASEoD integrates with the AT&T Business Center self-service web portal, which allows you to configure Ethernet Virtual Channels (EVCs), change bandwidth, and view billing information for your Network on Demand sites.
How it works
ASE provides data transport via fiber optics and a switched Ethernet core network and uses two types of routing. Port-based routing service sends data to Ethernet Virtual Channel (EVC) ports, regardless of Virtual LAN (VLAN) tags, and VLAN-based routing sends Ethernet frames according to VLAN instructions. Port connections are available at 100 Mbps, 1,000 Mbps (1 Gbps), 10,000 Mbps (10 Gbps) and 100,000 Mbps (100G). Physical ports offer a range of Committed Information Rates (CIRs) from 2 Mbps to 100 Gbps.
The Software Defined Networking (SDN) controller in the network architecture automates network provisioning and orchestrates changes across devices, locations, and services. To process user-generated network and service changes, the controller electronically routes requests from the self-service, ASEoD customer portal directly to the pertinent network elements and activates services and changes, often within minutes.
Features and Benefits
AT&T Switched Ethernet on Demand (ASEoD) gives you these features:
- Five Classes of Service (CoS) with Service Level Agreements (SLAs)
- Dynamic Bandwidth Speeds of 2 Mbps to 100 Gbps
- A Self-Service Portal with near-real-time provisioning, network scaling and management
- Flexible Configurations—We offer three configurations: Point-to-Point (between two ports), Point-to-Multipoint (hub-and-spoke design: virtual connections to remote sites), or Multipoint-to-Multipoint (three or more ports: any-to-any connectivity)
