Sprint Global Quality of Service: Guarantor of Application Delivery

Overview This Sprint white paper discusses a variety of issues related to application delivery and performance.

Convergence: lower costs and extra flexibility - the IP VPN promise

For multinationals, moving from international Frame Relay circuits to an MPLS IP VPN does not necessarily save money in the short term though longer-term financial payoffs are already being reported by early adopters.
