The IntelliNet architecture is based on switched ATM to the customer premises. At the
customer premises, the IP transport is taken over ATM and bridged to the nearest Point of Presence
(PoP). At the PoP, the packet is switched directly to the destination PoP from where it is bridged
ATM to the destination customer premises, which ensures that there are never more than 2 hops from
one location to the next. This, in turn, guarantees the best in class Service Level Agreement with
low latency and virtually no packet loss. With a full ATM architecture down to the Customer
Premises, security and control is maintained by managing these aspects within the network,
alleviating the need for expensive fire-wall equipment to be placed on site. The network ensures
that all information is kept secure by applying techniques such as fire-walling, anti-spoofing, VPN
steering, Traffic Shaping, and Network Address Translation (NAT) from within the network. This
delivers both better security and performance compared to a routed environment that only applies
Quality of Service (QoS).
In routed networks, the path of the packet is never pre-determined, and security and performance
are compromised since every router has to open the IP packet and read it to determine where to
deliver it. This increases delay and the risk of packet loss as well as compromises security,
particularly when the service provider carries the packet over a public network/backbone.
Conversely, on IntelliNet's network, your video packet will never be handed off to be routed on
another carrier's network.
