Dummies Guide to MPLS IP VPN Procurement

This white paper details some of the criteria and techniques used by Foehn to determine the underlying telecoms carriers servicing our client's MPLS IP VPNs (Multi-Protocol Label Switching Internet Protocol Virtual Private Networks)

For the most part, Managed Communications Providers such as Foehn do not own networks. We select underlying telecoms bearers from a range of carriers that most effectively meet our customer's requirements.

Understanding the differences in the business model, technology and operations of the underlying telecommunications network provider, gives a valuable insight that will assist in the development of an effective MPLS IP VPN Request For Proposal or at least assist in the negotiation of the most advantageous commercial terms. This white paper will help understand just that.
