The Limited Plane is serviced at a lower priority than Normal Data and is ideal for data back-up or packet-loss-tolerant applications, such as Scalable Video Coding (SVC) desktop video implementation. By delivering a new Limited Plane CoS that is deliberately de-prioritized below best effort, MASERGY can provide its customers a safe place on the network to carry large-scale desktop video flows or data back-up without fear of high volumes overwhelming other network traffic.

The overall advantage of the Limited Plane is that delay-tolerant desktop video or data back-up applications can be placed on an enterprise's private MPLS network to maintain security, at the same time leveraging QoS mechanisms that allow optimal large-scale communications while protecting corporate or public Internet applications.

Some benefits of MASERGY's Limited Plane include:

• SVC-optimized - Engineered to support Scalable Video Coding desktop video applications
• Security - Allows applications to run on a private network without coding or encryption
• Flexibility - Permits assignment of users to higher service plane for executive or priority calls that must be protected from congestion across the local loop
• Simplicity - Supports entire enterprise application deployment on a single corporate network
• Scalability - Allows companies to control bandwidth without adding additional circuits or hardware
• Performance - Allows companies to prioritize their corporate applications across six unique CoS levels for improved application transport
