L2/L3 transport refers to Layer 2 (Data Link) and Layer 3 (Network) connectivity services that enable carriers and enterprises to connect across multiple countries in Latin America. These services provide the backbone infrastructure for regional operations.
Layer 2 transport provides transparent Ethernet connectivity between locations. It's ideal for carriers who want to extend their network across LATAM without dealing with routing complexity.
Layer 3 transport provides BGP-based IP routing across LATAM. It's ideal for carriers who need full routing control and want to manage traffic engineering across the region.
JCM Global Carrier provides L2/L3 transport to all major Latin American countries:
| Aspect | Layer 2 (Ethernet) | Layer 3 (IP) |
|---|---|---|
| Complexity | Simpler, transparent | More complex, routing control |
| Control | Limited routing control | Full BGP control |
| Cost | Lower | Higher (more flexibility) |
| Peering | No direct peering | Can peer with other carriers |
| Best For | Simple multi-site connectivity | Carrier operations, complex routing |
