Preamble

Presently international telecommunication services for point to point connectivity are provided mostly

by IPLC network which

is

costly. The provision of the MPLS network would reduce the cost and

which

is

also ensuring

the

monitoring requirements such as service control, application control,

enhanced

traffic

classification, better troubleshooting, centralized martagement, real-time and long-term reporting, ensured high performance etc. This service-approval

will

facilitate the use of MPLS

Circuit

for

the cost effective altemative solution

of

IPLC

in

data network. The Commission looks

forward to create better professional business environment for BPOs, call centres, software developers,

data centers, content providers, content delivery platforms, online editing and designing services etc.

will

be provided through the ISP's Domestic-MPLS

will

be treated as service-partner for the service of International MPLS Circuit.

5.

In case of International MPLS Circuit, the

9.

IIGs and ISPs shall have to give proper justification for their pattern

data-usage as and when asked

by

the Commission. Moreover, the service and

its

associate network arrangements and connectivity shall abide by the ILDTS Policy, 2010.

10.

MPLS Circuit is intended primarily for data services only. No commercial voice

The IIG(s) and ISP(s) may have their internal business model (either Revenue-Share or Rental-Resource), which shall have to work analogously with the service-tariff.

14. The business-contract (service level agreement) between the IIG and ISP (in every applicable case) shall be decided by the bilateral-contract between the applicable

IIG

and ISP. This provision may also apply for the NNI Porting Charge (in case of Domestic MPLS Circuit) in form of MRC.
