Sprint MPLS Service


Sprint MPLS (Multiprotocol Label Switching) VPN™ (virtual private networking) is a comprehensive solution for enterprise network requirements that allows for the convergence of voice, video, and data onto one network. This IP-based solution understands the varying needs and performance parameters for different types of traffic.

Sprint MPLS VPN is a network-based IP solution that offers value-added services that eliminate the need to invest in capital-intensive customer-premises equipment (CPE.) Since it is an outsourced solution that grows with you, there’s never a need to worry about the complexity and cost of configuring and maintaining expensive new equipment.

Benefits:

  • Flexibility – Customer premises equipment (CPE) is optional and not required for any value-added features, MPLS VPN offers support for multiple local access options, internetworking (premise-based IPSec) and routing protocols.
  • Performance– Delivers real-time class of service with no setup or recurring fees. Performance is supported by service level agreements (SLAs) that are backed up with 100% monthly recurring charge (MRC) service credits.
  • Ease and Cost– Save money and increase survivability by picking and choosing from value-added services services like network-based firewalls, Internet access, remote access services, and wireless access.
  • Greater Value – No additional charges for CoS, multicasting, or service level agreements (SLAs). Sprint does not require they manage customer premises equipment.
  • High Security – Customer networks are completely isolated, with no component of their network being accessible by or visible to unauthorized parties or the public Internet.

Details:

MPLS security is designed to provide a secure networking environment while minimizing the risks associated with many potential threats. The customer’s data is completely segmented throughout the Sprint network via virtual routers and tunneling by MPLS labels. No component of the customer’s VPN is visible to unauthorized entities throughout this process.
