In addition to MPLS and SD-WAN, Site Connectivity via broadband Ethernet is a frequently used option for cost-effective and high-performance networking of sites.

Simply presented Extend your Ethernet LAN with broadband Ethernet links across locations to create an Ethernet-based WAN.

They receive Ethernet ports from the carrier as interfaces and manage their WAN and its traffic themselves. The locations are not connected via the public Internet. The security of your data is guaranteed by the use of dedicated Ethernet lines. Additional encryption and traffic management solutions can be used.

Ethernet options for your company

Ethernet services are of particular interest to companies because they enable simple cross-site management of their own internal company network in a transparent Ethernet environment without having to route over the public WAN.

You can scale the bandwidth and use it to prioritize applications in order to easily increase performance.

Ethernet networks can be realized with different topologies. These differ according to who communicates with whom in the network.

Various topologies such as point to point, hub and spoke and any to any are possible worldwide.

  • Point-to-pointDirect connection of two locations via Ethernet
  • HUB & SPOKE: The company headquarters or a data center serves as the HUB and all other locations (SPOKE) are connected to the network in a star configuration. Data is transferred between the locations via the head office (HUB).
  • Any-to-any: ONE site becomes the Ethernet Primary Site, all others become Ethernet Access Sites. Networking takes place in an any-to-any topology; data transfer can take place either via the main site or via all branch offices.

Costs and availability

What does Ethernet cost?

Ethernet Networks are generally more cost-effective than MPLS and SD-WAN solutions.

We will be happy to provide you with a non-binding analysis with prices.

The price for Ethernet results from:

A comparison is worthwhile. It is not only the costs that play a central role, but also QoS, SLAs, backup options and availability.

Ethernet availability

The availability of Ethernet Site Connectivity in Germany is being driven by the expansion of fiber optic networks. Fiber optic cables offer high transmission capacity and enable fast and reliable network connections.

Metropolitan regions and conurbations

The availability of Ethernet Site Connectivity is particularly high in metropolitan regions such as Berlin, Hamburg, Munich, Frankfurt and Cologne. Large cities are well equipped with fiber optic networks and offer a wide range of Ethernet services.

Medium-sized and smaller cities

The availability of Ethernet Site Connectivity is also becoming increasingly better in medium-sized and smaller cities in Germany. Due to the expansion of fiber optic networks and the growing competition among network providers, Ethernet services are also increasingly being offered in more rural regions.

Individualized solutions

Another advantage of the availability of Ethernet Site Connectivity in Germany is the possibility of customized solutions: Customized Ethernet services that meet the specific requirements and needs of your company. This includes the selection of the right bandwidth, the scalability of the network and the integration of additional services such as security and monitoring.

Ethernet Hub & Spoke

With HUB & SPOKE, a central location, the company headquarters or data center, becomes the HUB for VPN Site Connectivity. The branch offices (SPOKE) are connected in a star configuration. The data transfer between the branch offices is always routed via the main location.

By using point-to-multipoint connections, the local networks (LAN) of several locations merge into a single logical network (WAN) without media discontinuity. HUB & SPOKE simplifies the network architecture and thus offers improved efficiency through centralized networking.

The Ethernet line (Point to MultiPoint) not only covers your current business requirements, but also allows you to react flexibly to future bandwidth requirements. Bandwidths can be expanded quickly and cost-effectively without changing routers. Even internationally.

Ethernet private network

In the Ethernet Private Network(EPN), one location, the company headquarters or data center, becomes the primary site for Site Connectivity. All other locations become access sites. Networking takes place in an any-to-any topology.

Data can therefore be transferred between the branch offices to the main location or directly between the locations in the network.

Any-to-any

By using any-to-any connections, the local networks (LAN) of several locations merge into a single logical network (WAN) without media discontinuity.

E-LAN (Ethernet Any-to-Any) also makes it possible to react to future bandwidth requirements internationally in a highly flexible manner and without having to replace routers.

Ethernet network explained simply

Data networks are irreplaceable when it comes to handling business processes efficiently, reliably and quickly. But how is data transferred, stored, categorized and made accessible within the networks?

Physical and logical structure of Ethernet:

Ethernet is based on a physical transmission layer and a logical data link layer. On the physical layer, Ethernet is operated via copper or fiber optic cables that transmit data packets. The logical structure of Ethernet consists of so-called frames, which organize the data in packets and contain address information to route the data traffic in the network.

Network architecture:

The basis for Ethernet Site Connectivity is a robust network architecture. The network consists of various components such as switches, routers and firewalls. Each site is connected to these components to enable data traffic between the sites.

Connection of the locations:

The locations are connected via Ethernet cables or fiber optic cables, depending on the company’s requirements. These cables are used to establish physical connections between the network components at the individual locations.

IP addressing and routing:

IP addresses are used for communication between the locations. Each location is assigned a unique IP address, which makes it possible to send data packets to the correct location. Routing tables are used to define the path for data traffic between the locations.

VLANs and subnets:

Virtual Local Area Networks (VLANs) and subnets are used to organize and manage data traffic between locations. VLANs enable the logical separation of the network into different areas, while subnets control the IP addressing within the network.

Security:

Security plays an important role in Ethernet Site Connectivity. Firewall systems are used to monitor data traffic and prevent unwanted access. Encryption technologies such as virtual private networks (VPNs) can be used to protect data during transmission.

Redundancy and reliability:

To ensure high availability, redundant components and fail-safe mechanisms are used in Ethernet Site Connectivity to ensure that data traffic is forwarded smoothly even in the event of a failure.

Management and monitoring:

Management and monitoring systems are used for efficient administration of Ethernet Site Connectivity. These systems enable network administrators to monitor the status of the network, identify problems and take appropriate action.
