Time Warner Telecom Deploys Juniper's M-series Routers for VPLS

Time Warner Telecom is using Juniper Networks' M-series Multiservice Routing Platform as a foundation for its newly extended metro Ethernet services, including its Multi-point Extended Native LAN -- the largest Virtual Private LAN Service (VPLS) deployment in the U.S., according to the companies. The service, which is now available in 44 metropolitan areas across the country, uses IP/MPLS to provide a multipoint-to-multipoint Ethernet service between multiple enterprise sites in geographically dispersed locations. Sites in different cities appear to be on the same Ethernet-based LAN. Time Warner Telecom also uses Juniper Networks' Gigabit Ethernet IQ PICs to provide per VLAN QoS to support prioritized voice, video and other mission critical traffic over their network. Financial terms were not disclosed. http://www.juniper.net
