One of the advantages of VoIP is that voice and Internet services are delivered over the same local loop access circuit using the Internet Protocol (IP).

In a T1, each of the twenty-four 64 Kbps channels can connect to the Internet individually or the Internet T1 can be configured to aggregate all of the 24 channels into one large 1.544 Mbps concatenated channel.

Voice over IP (VoIP) sends voice data in packets using the Internet Protocol (IP) instead of analog waves as does plain old telephone service (POTS) lines.

Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) is a data communication standard that creates separate data paths for specific sequences of packets. Each packet is identified by a label that is encapsulated into each packet. This eliminates the need for Internet Protocol (IP) routers to look up the IP address of the next router in the network in order to forward the packet and as a result, speeds up the network.

Ethernet access to the Internet is quickly becomming a popular service. Ethernet, which is usually thought of as the protocol used to connect computers and servers on a local area network (LAN), is now increasingly being used across metropolitan wide area networks (WANS) to connect corporate LANs to the Internet. The advantage of Ethernet Internet Access service is that connection speeds that range from 1 Megabit per Second (Mbps) to 1 Gigabit per Second (Gbps) can be accessed via the same protocol being used on corporate LANs.

Digital Subscriber Line (DSL) connects end users (subscribers) to the Internet via a plain old telephone service (POTS) line that uses an existing copper pair but has been sped up by a Digital Subscriber Line Access Multiplexer (DSLAM) located at the service provider centeral office (CO) to form a continuous digital high-speed data connection from the customer premise to the Internet.

Exlpore why Ethernet is probably the next killer broadband delivery platform.

Have you been frustrated trying to find telecommunications information on the Internet? Are descriptions of services unclear and so carrier specific that you do not trust the content? Telecom Links understands that there is a shortage of clearly-written information about the myriad of telecom services available today. Consequently, the Telecom Links mission is to be the most comprehensive source of telecommunications information on the World Wide Web.

MPLS makes it easier to manage network for quality of service (QoS) because packets can be prioritized by business importance. For example, Voice over IP (VoIP) can be prioritized over email and web browsing packets.
