Advantage of Colocation Bandwidth
Colocation is locating your servers in a colocation facility, also known as a carrier hotel. Advantages of this approach include ready availability of low cost bandwidth including 10 Mbps Ethernet, 100 Mbps Fast Ethernet, and Gigabit Ethernet options. These data centers also offer backup power, environmental control and high levels of security.Carrier Ethernet is Available Now

STP or Spanning Tree Protocol is a technique used by Ethernet switches to ensure that there is one and only one physical path from source to destination. This is done to prevent forwarding loops.Will Carriers "Light Buildings"?
