Sharing Business Broadband Costs
Even smaller businesses can have high performance dedicated Internet access by splitting the cost of a fiber optic Ethernet connection with other businesses in their building or business park.

What is Ethernet over Copper
Ethernet over Copper, or EoC, uses copper transmission lines rather that fiber optics. T1 lines are most often used to transport mid-band Ethernet signals in the 1 to 10 Mbps bandwidth range when provisioning fiber optic lines is too expensive.

Where does a VPN make sense?
A VPN or Virtual Private Network is a security technique to allow public networks, like the Internet, to be used for secure private data transmission. Since Internet access is almost universally available, using VPN software to encrypt data into private tunnels is more cost effective than building a fully meshed network to connect many locations.

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.
