How are EPL services different than Metro Connect service?

How are Ethernet Private Line services different than Metro Connect service?

  • Equinix Fabric's EPL (Ethernet Private Line) services are point-to-point services designed for inter-metro connectivity. They are available up to 10G bandwidth and do not offer advanced networking capabilities like QoS traffic shaping. On the other hand, Metro Connect Ethernet services are also point-to-point services but are intended for intra-metro connectivity and are available at higher bandwidths, greater than 10G
