6) Service Access Transports Frame Relay Access for DIA The Frame Relay access method for DIA is designed to meet customer requirements for Internet connectivity with OSi , DS3, Fractional DS1 , and Fractional DS3. Port Only, Pon+Access (Customer Provided Equipment), and Port+Access+CPE service options are available. Frame Relay service provides a dedicated port connected to a PVC from the customer premises over the BellSouth Frame Relay network to the BMF. Frame Relay Port Only is required to be full Committed Information Rate (CIR). Customers purchasing Port+Access and Port Only Service Options for Frame Relay DS3 and Fractional Frame Relay DS3 must provide Kentrox emulation on customer owned CPE. The Kentrox emulation provides for the °choking" of the 45M when less bandwidth is required (i.e., 6M, 9M, 12M). SMARTRing® service Customers can provision Frame Relay DIA (either Port+Access+CPE or Port+Access Service options) over their existing SMARTRing® service. The SMARTRing® service requires a Shared Network Agreement (SNA). The customer must sign SMARTRing SNA and a PLCA if the SMARTRing is from the state tariff, to allow the DIA service to be mapped across the ring. The DIA offer does not include or provide the SMARTRing® service itself. The use of SMARTRing® interfaces replaces a portion of the local loop normally associated with the DIA Port+Access+CPE and Port+Access offers. Availability Frame Relay access to DIA service is available in all tier I and II BMFs. Frame Relay DIA can be ordered using tiered/flat rate billing. For Frame Relay DIA services equal to and above 12Mbps, a Service Availability Check (SAC) will be conducted during the pre-sales process to determine If/when facilities are/vrill be available within the target BMF. Multi-Link Frame Relay DIA IMLFRI MLFR DIA is designed for customers who are not served with fiber access facilities (and therefore cannot receive a DS3 circuit) yet their Internet bandwidth requirements exceed that of a single DSI circuk. The service provides the customer with a dedicated connection to the Internet in multiple DS1 (1 .536 Mbps) increments (310, 6M and 9M). MLFR Dedicated Internet Access is available with the Port+Access+CPE Service Option and Pat +Access+CPE over SMARTRing. Availability MLFR DIA can be ordered using tiered/flat rate billing. Private Line DIA Private Line DIA service gives business customers a full-time dedicated connection from their customer premise to the Internet. The customer is corrected to the nearest BellSouth Managed Facility (BMF) directly with a private local loop circuit. Port+Access+CPE , Port+Access+CPE over SMARTRing, Port+Access, Part+Access over SMARTRing, and Pot Only service options are available with Private Line DIA. Unlike Frame Relay, the Private Line access price is based on mileage from the customers premise to the BMF. SMARTRing® service Customers we able to provision Private Line DIA (either Port+Access+CPE or Pot+Access Service options) over their existing SMARTRing® service. The SMARTRing® service requires a Shared Network Agreement (SNA). The customer must sign the SMARTRingSNA, and a PICA if the SMARTRing is from the state tariff, to allow BST ISP to purchase interfaces on the ring for the DIA service to ride. This DIA offer does not include or provide the SMARTRing® service itself. The use of SMARTRing® interfaces replaces a portion of the local Imp normally associated with the DIA Port+Access+CPE and Port+Access offers Availability Private Line service is available in most BMFs. Private line can be ordered using either the flat rate or burstable billing method. For Private Line DIA services equal to and above 12Mbps, a Service Availability Check (SAC) will be conducted during the pre-sales process to determine if/when facilities are/wfll be available within the target BMF. Metro Ethernet DIA (MetroE DIA) This service will enable customers to connect to the Internet at various Metro Ethernet speeds. MetroE DIA is available as Port+Access+CPE, port+Access and Port Only service options. When DIA is used with Metro Ethernet Premium service, packets originating from a particular Customer are identified by use of a Virtual Local Area Network number (VLAN Tag) that is assigned by BellSouth when the service is provisioned. The VLAN tag is embedded in each ethernet packet received from the Customer and serves to identify the source of the packet to BellSouth. The requirement to identify MetroE DIA Customers by VLAN Tag requires that the data transport service connecting to the BMF conform to the following requirements: 1 . The BellSouth Metro Ethernet Service ordered from BellSouth must be Metro Ethernet Premium service equipped with Q-Forwarding. Q- Forwarding is an optional Metro Ethernet Premium feature that adds support for VLAN tagging to the BellSouth standard Metro Ethernet Premium service. 2. If a Customer already uses a BellSouth Metro Ethernet service that does not include VLAN tagging, (i.e. BellSouth Basic Metro Ethernet service), and we or more of the existing locations desire to add DIA services, then all locations served by that service must be upgraded to the Metro Ethernet Premium service. 3. The CPE equipment effecting the ethernet connection at the Customer Premises to the BellSouth Metro Ethernet service must support VLAN tagging via the 802.1Q protocol. (e.g. a Cisco 2821 router or equivalent). When a Part+Access of Port Only configuration is ordered, the Customer must provide compatible CPE and configure it according to the VLAN tags that will be assigned by BellSouth during the ME DIA provisioning process. Customers providing their own Metro Ethernet transport to the Pot Only Service option must purchase rate elements for Premium Fixed Metro Ethernet speeds 10M, 20M, 50M, 100M, 250M, or 500M, plus any additional mileage charges required to connect the customer premise to the closest equipped Metro Ethernet switch Central Office. Customer provided routers most be VLAN-tagging capable for Metro Ethernet DIA service. All dedicated, point-to-point transport services used to provide access to the DIA service are provided As the FCC jurisdiction tariffs.
