Sprint said it is using Cosine Communications gear to deliver a new managed network-based VPN service, slated for availability in the second quarter.

The service will protect customer traffic inside IPSec tunnels once it reaches Sprint's network, although traffic will run unprotected between customer sites and Sprint points of presence. Sprint claims the service will be easier for it to manage than its existing managed VPN service because the carrier can support many customers from each Cosine device. While Sprint wouldn't reveal how many sites it can support via the new service or how much it will cost, it said the offering should appeal most to companies looking to build out large VPNs that would be too difficult to manage and too time-consuming to roll out themselves.

Sprint's existing managed VPN service relies on equipment placed at each customer site, protecting the access links between customers and Sprint POPs, but increasing the number of machines Sprint must manage to deliver the service.

Separately, WorldCom announced a way for customers of its IP VPN Dedicated Access, Fully Managed service to measure the latency, usage and reliability of their VPN connections. These reports are available in daily, weekly and monthly Web-based reports via a new service called VPN Interactive Performance Reporting (VIPeR). There is no extra charge for the service.
