Qwest iQ Networking Enhanced Port uses Frame Relay or ATM access to define separate private virtual circuits (PVCs) or VCs that direct traffic to the private corporate WAN and the Internet through a single router interface. Separate PVC and VCs are used to isolate communities of interest such as sales and finance. This ensures that the sales department is logically separated from the computer resources of the finance department.

To facilitate access into the network, you have the option of a variety of port speeds, ranging from 64 Kbps to OC-12 (622 Mbps). The following port types are available in fractional or full access speeds:

• Frame Relay—Fractional DS-1 starting at 64 Kbps
• Frame Relay and ATM DS-1 (1.544 Kbps)
• ATM Inverse Multiplexing over ATM (IMA) NxDS-1 (three to 12 Mbps)
• Frame Relay and ATM DS-3 (45 Mbps)
• ATM OC-3 (155 Mbps) and OC-12 (622 Mbps)
