IES Service Overview
Internet Enhanced Service (IES) is a routed connectivity service where the subscriber 
communicates with an IP router interface to send and receive Internet traffic. An IES has one or 
more logical IP routing interfaces each with a SAP which acts as the access point to the 
subscriber’s network.
NOTE:  In access-uplink mode, IES is primarily designed for in-band management of the node. 
IES allows  IP interfaces to participate in the same routing instance used for service network core 
routing connectivity. IES services require that the IP addressing scheme used by the subscriber be 
unique between other provider addressing schemes and potentially the entire Internet. While IES is 
part of the routing domain, the usable IP address space may be limited. This allows a portion of the 
service provider address space to be reserved for service IP provisioning, and be administered by a 
separate, but subordinate address authority.
IP interfaces defined within the context of an IES service must have a SAP associated as the uplink 
access point to the subscriber network. Multiple IES services are created to segregate subscriber 
owned IP interfaces.

The IES service provides in-band management connectivity. Other features include:
• Multiple IES services are created to separate IP interfaces.
• More than one IES service can be created for a single customer ID.
• More than one IP interface can be created within a single IES service ID. All IP interfaces 
created within an IES service ID belong to the same customer.
In access-uplink mode, the IES services provide IP connectivity to the node for in-band 
management of the node. Most of the management tasks supported with the out-of-band 
management port are supported with in-band management.
