3. IP VPN Market
• IP VPN Services became a $20.5bn global market in 2009 and this is set to
grow to $30bn by 2016
Dec 2010
• In Western Europe, IP VPN Services is predicted to become a $11.5bn in
2011, increasing to $13.2bn in 2014

5. IP VPN
“An IP VPN is a partitioned private network constructed over a shared
IP-based backbone that utilises technologies to ensure privacy of data,
either self-implemented or provided by an IP-based service provider.”

6. Colt IP VPN
Private Networks: A shared MPLS backbone:
• High cost of dedicated bandwidth • Lower cost
• Multitude of interfaces at hub site • Increased flexibility
• Limited resilience possible • Scales to hundreds of sites
• Not available as a fully managed offer • Fully managed solution (unmanaged also
available)
• Separate circuits – not a network solution
• Not a scalable any to any solution
• MPLS technology provides the security
and service guarantees of a dedicated
network

12. Why an MPLS NNI ?
Customer Access Options Considerations
MPLS Network
Traditional method for extending MPLS
network from core to the Customer site
SDH Competition from DSL & EFM technology
for metro access
/OLO SDH
SDH prices are distant dependant – the further
the site, the more expensive the service
Cheaper and less complicated than SDH
Increased bandwidth options
Ethernet
/EFM Ethernet prices also distant dependant –
like SDH, best for near net sites
MPLS
Router
DSL delivers low cost to MPLS networks for
small offices, remote workers & for redundancy
DSL Requires another NNI
ATM
/ATM
DSL speeds are limited and ATM interface
can be expensive
A single NNI with another Provider can
All of provide access to all above technologies
OLO MPLS The
Above Extends the QoS and any-to-any proposition
MPLS NNI

13. Example: MPLS Network NNI Requirement
• Providers network Covers Blue
Countries, off-net sites can be
connect but via expensive
International P2P Links
MPLS NODE • Sites in France & the UK
communicate with one another via
MPLS Node even though they are
close together
• Imagine two sites in Paris
communicating with each other via
Poland !
13

14. Example: MPLS Network NNI Solution
• With an MPLS NNI the providers
coverage is effectively extended
• Sites in France and the UK
communicate with one another in
this example via a fully meshed
MPLS NODE
network

16. The MPLS Interconnect
• Interconnect “everywhere” !
• Redundant interconnect at 2 different sites – primary & backup
• Physical interconnection on Ethernet circuit (100M or 1G)
• The Ethernet circuit for the interconnect is included in the offer
• Customer can interconnect at any on-net site
• Two interconnect technologies supported: ‘Type A’ and ‘Type B’
• Once established, the NNI can be used to deliver hundreds of Customer
sites
