Layer 2 Transport provides a virtual circuit between two locations on Hurricane Electric's global network using ethernet.

What transport speed connections do you offer?

Gigabit Ethernet or Gige (1000 Mbps, which equals 1 Gbps) 10 Gigabit Ethernet or 10GE (10 Gbps) For requirements past 10 Gbps, we bond 10GE ports together to create a Nx10 Gbps logical pipe.

Can I pass my own VLANs over this service?

Yes.

What are some examples of how this service is typically used?

To build your network, by connecting between two of your own routers in different cities.
