    FAQ

    Yes. Lumen Ethernet On-Demand is the digital Ethernet product located in the Ethernet On-Demand Manager, where E-Line EVPL can also be purchased and managed.

    Lumen Ethernet On-Demand, a Network-as-a-Service (NaaS) product, enables self-service, including live creation and deletion of Ethernet connections. It supports hybrid cloud strategies by shifting workloads across locations, clouds and data centers in real time—all with a pay-as-you-go billing model.

    Lumen Ethernet On-Demand is ideal for businesses looking to connect data center and cloud environments in real time. Ethernet On-Demand creates this link in a fast, secure and flexible way, empowering business agility. Other use cases include:

    • Varying network demands throughout the year
    • Increased bandwidth required for cloud migration
    • Rapid network delivery for temporary job sites

    Ethernet On-Demand is part of the Lumen NaaS portfolio, offering scalable bandwidth, pay-as-you-go hourly billing and delivery within minutes of purchase.

    Ethernet On-Demand is preferred by companies that want to manage their own network, companies looking for a self-service connectivity option, and companies that have fluctuating bandwidth needs and require a pay-as-you-go billing model.

    Yes. Our current bandwidth reaches up to 30 Gbps, and select data centers have bandwidth up to 100 Gbps quotable now, with 400 Gbps available on a case-by-case basis.

    Yes. Service tiers include basic, dedicated and enhanced.

    1. Basic
      • Lowest-cost option with solid performance 
      • Ideal for noncritical traffic like email or file transfers
    2. Dedicated
      • Highest priority with real-time traffic handling
      • Best for voice, video and latency-sensitive apps
    3. Enhanced
      • Prioritizes traffic during congestion 
      • Great for business apps needing consistent performance

    The Ethernet On-Demand Manager provides end-to-end network performance statistics at all service locations. Specific features include:

    • Site-specific and end-to-end latency, jitter, packet delivery and bandwidth utilization visibility
    • One-hour to 6-month views with 12-month history 
    • Personalized “Watch” and “Warning” thresholds with email alerts

    Lumen E-Services have a 99.999% service availability SLA and site-specific SLAs backed by end-to-end network performance statistics.
