Integrated Architecture

CenturyLink™ architecture provides flexible transport and application services to agencies, providing them with a one‑stop shopping experience. Customer applications — whether voice, data or a combination of the two — are all supported by a full range of Service Enabling Devices. Our devices have been selected with Class‑of‑Service (CoS) mechanisms, such as IP Precedence (IPP) and Class‑Based Weighted Fair Queuing (CBWFQ), which are needed to enable latency and jitter‑sensitive applications when combined with other data services.
