TEI

Transparent Ethernet Interconnect

Transparent Ethernet Interconnect (TEI, also known as Private Interconnect / PI) provides completely transparent 10Gbps connectivity (leased line) between two points of presence from the TurkIX network. To use TEI, you do not need to use another TurkIX service. If you are already connected as a member using a port, the first TEI is free.

Main technical characteristics:

Speed 10Gbps, connectivity with 10GBASE-LR interfaces at both ends. Note: 1Gbps support is also possible (1000Base-LX/LH interfaces). Please contact us to discuss other available possibilities according to your needs.
Transmission of all valid frames with MTU <= 9000 bytes, including Q-in-Q, Provider Backbone Bridges (MAC-in-MAC), etc.
Unlimited number of VLANs and MAC addresses.
Service protection through alternative physical routes and MPLS switching mechanisms in the BIX.BG network; Note: TEI is E-Line (Port-Based, Point-to-Point EVC) according to MEF specifications. For more information, see https://wiki.mef.net/display/CESG/E-Line.

Advantages:

  • Extremely fast setup – usually within 24 hours.
  • Easy to integrate and upgrade with available Dark Fiber or other TEI – for example with LACP configured by the customer at both ends.
  • No installation fee.
  • No additional service and administrative time spent coordinating technical parameters, VLANs, etc.
  • Fully protected connectivity at the level of optical routes.
  • Also suitable as a temporary solution, with no long-term commitments.
  • Completely identical parameters (technical, financial, etc.) no matter between which two points the service is activated.
