XO Launches MPLS-based MultiTransport Networking Service

XO Communications launched a new MultiTransport Networking Service (MTNS) designed in the initial phase to enable legacy Frame Relay-to-Frame Relay and Ethernet-to-Ethernet wide-area-network connectivity.


The service is carried over XO's MPLS-enabled IP backbone using physically diverse OC-192 circuits. Future releases of MTNS will support Class-of-Service (CoS) capabilities allowing customers to set parameters that support the customization of traffic prioritization. The service will also enable the integration of legacy access methods with more advanced access methods. XO said the new MultiTransport Networking Service would provide customers with greater flexibility by enabling full interoperability between varying protocols.
