What is a Ethernet Local Loop (ELL)?

DS3 vs ELL
	Traditional Standard DS3 Routing Has multiple single links between the customer premise, the local serving offices. The circuit may have multiple carriers per circuit. DS3 requires special investment and set-up.

Ethernet Local Loop Routing The ELL links to providing carrier's Ethernet cloud via UNI (user network interface), which is connected via a NNI (network-to-network interface) to the service provider's network.		Ease of Implementation / Use • Widely available, well understood technology • Simplifies network configuration (physical & interface) • 'Pay as you drink' - scalability • Lower equipment, service and operational costs
