Private IP Overview Private IP is a network-based virtual private network (VPN) enabling customers to effectively communicate over a secure network. It also provides the foundation for automating business processes between companies, including e-commerce, shared intranets, and extranets. Private IP: Is based on Layer 3 Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS), which enables Private IP to separate customer traffic through a VPN, resulting in the security and Quality of Service (QoS) of Layer 2 switching with the scalability and any-to-any connectivity of IP. Is available as a non-managed transport or as a Managed Services solution. Non-managed transport customers can use the Remote Configuration feature to outsource implementation to Verizon in specified markets. Standard service offers Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) Differentiated Service (DiffServ) class of service. Private IP's Enhanced Traffic Management (ETM) enables customers to prioritize their traffic and assign classes of service distinguished by different levels of packet loss and jitter. Offers advanced network assessment, reporting, dynamic bandwidth, and packet marking tools, allowing customers to fine-tune their networks to improve performance, gain visibility, and achieve new levels of cost-efficiencies. Supports a full range of access types. Features and Benefits Feature Description Benefit to the Customer Scalability Ease of expanding the network. Customers can expand their networks to higher speeds or to multiple locations in a fully meshed environment with little disruption. Security Full Layer 2 security for an IP Customers do not have to add a network. connection-oriented overlay to the Private IP network to encrypt tunnels, which would be required if the customer was using Internet Protocol Security (IPSec). The Private IP network offers the security of a Layer 2 network. Any-to-any Any location on the Private IP The benefits of this feature are most connectivity network can connect to any other successfully realized in a fully-meshed location on the Private IP network environment. network Extensive Ethernet Connects our expansive Ethernet Expands the access options for Private Access footprint to our Private IP IP customers.

Dynamic Enables customers to manage Using a web-based interface, a Bandwidth their Private IP Port and CAR customer can change their Private IP speeds Port and CAR speeds to meet traffic demands. The tools empower the customer to take control of their bandwidth. Looking Glass Looking Glass is part of the Application Aware virtual private network (VPN) suite of solutions. This application is an empowerment tool for customers, providing them with the ability to view the configuration information of their Private IP VPN via the Verizon Enterprise Center portal. Private IP customers who are not using Dynamic Bandwidth can use the Looking Glass tool to see their network attributes and determine how their sites are configured at the Provider Edge (PE) devices on the network. Private IP only customers can also see if a port or CAR change submitted to their Verizon Account Team has been completed. The tool allows customers to download sample configurations for their CE router. Private IP customers will be able to use this tool in conjunction with Dynamic Bandwidth to see/validate that their orders have been completed and their configurations changed through the Dynamic Bandwidth tool. Following are the items the customer can view: VPN Level Information Class of Service Information VPN Name Class of Service (CoS) type (Private IP VPN Default Standard or Private IP Enhanced Traffic Multicasting VPN (True/False) Management) Multicasting Rendezvous Point Address Gold CAR VPN Topology (fully meshed/hub and Silver CAR spoke) Multicasting CAR Max Routes Concord Enabled VRF Parameters Maximum paths VRF Name Enhanced Interior Border Gateway Router name Protocol (EIBGP) Load Sharing Hub/Spoke Routing Protocol Max Routes Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) CE AS eHealth Enable flag Num Max Paths BGP Message-Digest algorithm 5 (MD5 Multicasting Rendezvous Point (RP) Address password) BGP Timers keepalive BGP Timers hold time BGP Send community Site Information BGP Routing Information Site Name Allow Autonomous System (AS) Circuit ID AS override Permanent Virtual Circuit (PVC) ID CE AS Number Location Timers keepalive PE Interface Timers hold time Router name Routing Information Protocol (RIP) Routing Router type Information Speed Redistribute OSPF (Open Shortest Path First) Interface name OSPF PE IP Address/Prefix Length VPN Level Information Class of Service Information Fragmentation Private IP Static Routes Multicasting site type (hub or remote) Destination Address Encapsulation (diff from CE indirect) Destination subnet mask Access Type (e.g. T1, E1, T3, etc.) Forwarding address Customer Edge (CE) Interface Site of Origin information Information Connection Type (Direct/Indirect) Site of origin site type CE IP Address/Prefix Length Remote site order number Encapsulation Data Link Connection Identifier (DLCI), Virtual Path Identifier (VPI), or Virtual Local Area Network (VLAN) ID Router model (for managed only) Router DNS domain ID (this is the ESP identifier for the managed device) The Looking Glass Tool will allow customers to make changes to the following items without incurring an additional charge. This will eliminate customers from having to request these changes through their Account Manager. Customers will be able to select the "Modify" option next to the field that can be changed. Private IP Customers will be able to create a Looking Glass order to change the following parameters: Routing Protocol Admin Status Shaping Adjust These orders can be cancelled once they have been submitted but prior to completion, if the customer determines the change are not appropriate. Customers who have subscribed to WAN Analysis Reporting can use the Looking Glass application to link them right over to the WAN Analysis portal. Customers will have to log into the WAN Analysis portal using their user ID and password. This will allow customers to toggle between the two tools to adjust any bandwidth as needed. Reporting WAN Analysis WAN Analysis Reporting offers customers a one-stop solution for proactive performance management, capacity analysis and reporting on their network infrastructure. WAN Analysis Reporting provides customers with a single view of their infrastructure by consolidating reporting for selected Verizon transport (e.g., Private IP, Private IP Satellite) and Verizon managed network services (e.g., Managed WAN, Managed LAN). WAN Analysis Reporting is powered by CA eHealth, CA Report Analyzer and CA Performance Center software which is provided and managed on behalf of Verizon by CA Technologies. CA is a Fortune 500 company and one of the larger independent global software corporations. CA eHealth, CA Report Analyzer, and CA Performance Center are part of CA's portfolio of infrastructure management services, which also includes CA Spectrum Infrastructure Manager. WAN Analysis Reporting uses the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) to periodically query the management information base (MIB) of customer premises equipment (CPE). The data collected is related to device configuration and device component performance. The process of periodically querying the MIB of a device is referred to as "polling." Polling reduces the load (such as bandwidth utilization) on customer networks but the tradeoff is that performance information is slightly delayed due to the interval between individual polls. In addition, the WAN Analysis ETM Select
