Genes Telecom is an established residential and business Service Provider in Northern Manitoba. Specifically The Pas and surrounding area (Cranberry Portage, Wanless, Bakers Narrows, Rocky Lake, Clearwater Lake, & Flin Flon), Thompson, and Snow Lake.
Before
A previous network redesign project had taken the network from a flat layer 2 network to a fully routed OSPF network, using BGP externally.
QoS and VPLS
The next level up from fully routed ISP network is a Service Provider (SP) network. The most commonly supported way to accomplish this is by using MPLS, and VPLS to provide layer 2 services (with priority levels) across that fully routed MPLS network.
Changes and improvements:
- Internal BGP Anycast
- MPLS
- Layer 2 service delivered over VPLS
- QoS everywhere using Layer 3 DSCP bits, Layer 2 VLAN priority bits, and MPLS EXP bits
