Inter-Branch Connectivity Challenges
Agencies with many branches such as regional hospitals, banks and government agencies are often confused about choosing between public internet-based VPN or Metro-Ethernet (Metro-E).
Advantages of Metro-E Layer-2
Metro-E operates at Layer-2 (Data Link) using a private fiber optic network without going through the open internet. Key benefits:
- Zero Jitter and Consistent Latency under 3ms
- Absolute privacy with no risk of sniffing on the open internet
- Easy internal IP routing without the need for NAT or tunneling overhead
