Ethernet Private Line Service (EPL) for Dedicated Business Connectivity _
Confident connectivity_
BSO’s Ethernet Private Line (EPL) is a Layer 2, carrier-grade service delivering dedicated point-to-point connectivity with guaranteed bandwidth, ultra-low latency, and diverse path options.
Designed for mission-critical workloads, EPL provides secure, private data transfer between your global sites - with performance that’s predictable and uncompromised.
OUR SERVICE
What is EPL?
Ethernet Private Line is a dedicated Ethernet service designed to provide private, symmetrical connectivity between two locations - ideal for businesses requiring high-throughput, low-latency links.
Ethernet Private Line is designed for certainty. We deliver connections on fixed, static paths where throughput is guaranteed as long as your connection is active. EPL is a non oversubscribed service - the speed you buy is the speed you receive.
Unprotected: single linear circuit
Protected revertive: diverse circuits where a primary path is defined and used whenever possible
Protected non-revertive: diverse circuits where an alternate path is applied when the active path goes down

“We are happy to count on BSO as an innovative and reliable partner to help us in our efforts to do so.”
Olivier Macque Regional Manager Europe
Cloud Platform Department at Rakuten
“We engaged BSO because of its international reach, reputation for ultra low latency connectivity, and experience in highly regulated financial markets. These qualities have proven true; however, it is BSO’s pace and flexibility that have stood out to us again and again.”
Thomas Schmeling Chief Executive Officer at CryptoStruct
“BSO really stands out for just how far the team will go to ensure we are happy. They understand how critical connectivity is to our clients’ trading and investment objectives.”

FAQs
What is Ethernet Private Line?
A dedicated Layer 2 Ethernet service connecting two sites over BSO’s global network. It provides guaranteed bandwidth and consistent low latency for critical business applications that require private, high-performance connectivity.
How secure is BSO Ethernet Private Line?
EPL traffic travels over fully private circuits-never the public internet. Each connection is isolated at Layer 2, supported by carrier-grade encryption and housed within Tier 3+ data centres monitored 24/7 by BSO’s NOC team.
What are the benefits of using the BSO Ethernet Private Line?
Guaranteed bandwidth, sub-millisecond latency, and route diversity across BSO’s global backbone. The service is custom-engineered for reliability, with flexible capacity from 10 Mbps – 100 Gbps and SLA-backed performance guarantees.
How fast is BSO Ethernet Private Line?
Available from 10 Mbps to 100 Gbps with symmetrical speeds. Every circuit is non-oversubscribed, meaning the capacity you purchase is the capacity you receive - consistently.
How is BSO Ethernet Private Line provisioned?
BSO designs and installs each circuit end-to-end, coordinating with your data centre or on-prem site for hand-off. Once live, performance is continuously monitored by our global operations team, ensuring SLA compliance and rapid response.
How does Ethernet Private Line differ from Ethernet Virtual Private Line (EVPL)?
Ethernet Private Line (EPL) connects two sites with a dedicated, point-to-point circuit where all traffic is delivered untagged. It’s ideal for high-throughput, low-latency applications that need guaranteed performance.
Ethernet Virtual Private Line (EVPL) uses a shared, multipoint infrastructure that supports multiple virtual circuits on one physical link-better suited for flexible, multi-site connectivity.
How does Wavelength Service compare to Ethernet Private Line?
A Wavelength Service provides a fully dedicated optical channel at the physical layer (Layer 1), offering fixed capacity-typically 1 Gbps, 10 Gbps, or 100 Gbps-for clients who manage their own equipment and protocols.
Ethernet Private Line operates at Layer 2, delivering managed bandwidth and protocol handling within BSO’s network. It’s simpler to deploy, monitored end-to-end, and includes SLA-backed performance management.
How does Ethernet Private Line compare to MPLS?
MPLS is a packet-switched, multi-tenant network that dynamically routes traffic across shared infrastructure-best for organisations linking many locations.
Ethernet Private Line provides a fixed, dedicated path between two endpoints with guaranteed bandwidth and predictable latency. It’s the preferred choice when performance, privacy, and determinism are critical.
