The Level 3® IP VPN (IP virtual private network) service connects you with flexible, secure and scalable IP connectivity. IP VPN technology is rapidly becoming the industry standard for supporting IP-based applications. With the security, privacy and quality of an asynchronous transfer mode (ATM) network or a frame relay network, our IP VPN service is the natural replacement for these older technologies. Level 3 can help you replace multiple networks with a single, cost-effective solution that can greatly simplify the converged transmission of voice, video and data.

IP VPN Benefits

Flexible Network Design with Traffic Prioritization
Level 3’s reliable, innovative and converged MPLS (multiprotocol label switching) core network is designed to give you the ability to prioritize network application traffic. With class of service (CoS) tiers, the performance of high-priority applications like voice or video is not compromised by other applications. This gives you incredible flexibility in designing a high-performance, single-network solution.

Ability to Integrate with Legacy Technology
Our IP VPN service allows you to seamlessly integrate legacy applications and emerging technologies to give you increased freedom. You select the access technology that meets your needs, along with the bandwidth level that accommodates your traffic (from T-1 to GigE).

Supports Simplicity and Cost Efficiency
Usage-based pricing is designed to allow you to cost-effectively engineer your traffic streams in a way that does more with less, through simplified customer premises equipment (CPE) and a common skill set centered on IP. Level 3 takes care of the infrastructure and support so that your own personnel and hardware resources can remain devoted to your core business.
