- Segment 3: VLAN Tags
- VLANs allow end users to separate traffic types (VoIP, Internet, IP-VPN, etc) within the Ethernet circuit. Multiple services over a single connection is one reason why Ethernet is so efficient and saves money.
- Segment 4: Tag Stacking

- XO's Ethernet Hub is full of Carrier Grade features allowing Carriers to reach end users with dedicated, 100‰ real-time bandwidth. XO's strong SLAs allow Carrier customers to have full control over the services provided over the Ethernet circuits.
