Re: What's the meaning of virtual POP ?

At Level 3, a VPOP is a POP that we operate under someone else's license. For example, we have VPOPs in a number of markets throughout the Asia Pacific region, including countries like China, Vietnam, Indonesia, and others. We are buying a service from a partner that has an operating license in that country where they provide routers, entrance facilities, colo and other related infrastructure items, but we otherwise operate it as a full POP. It's in our OSS/BSS systems like any other location.

how does this work for mpls vpn based services across continent/country? i.e. are there inter-provider mpls vpn issues? randy
