Product Brief Metr o E thernet R outing S witch 8600 Ethernet has emerged as the infrastruc- ture of choice for new service provider deployments as well as for Layer 2 enter- pri se- wide interconnect.
2 What mak es the Metr o E thernet Routing S witch 8600 ex ceptional? In the service provider environment, the principle challenge today is that of cost- effectively delivering multiple services to residential and business end-users as well as wholesale services like wireless backhaul, while leveraging a common, converged infrastructure.
3 how VPNs are implemented can be captured and brought to market quickly , and at minimal cost. Service topologies supported include point-to-point, point-to-multipoint and any-to-any models.
4 With P rovider B ackbone T ransport (PBT) technology , efficient tr unks can be engineered thru the network to deliver end-to-end traffic with deter- ministic routing and QoS in support of individual multiple-priority services or aggregrated services being backhauled across the MAN.
R eliability The Metr o Ethernet Routing S witch 8600 architecture is designed to pro vide protection strategies at multiple levels to deliver “ five nines ” availability .
6 N ortel’ s Metro E thernet Manager pro vides extensive capabilities for performance monitoring, service assurance, SL A measurement and troubleshooting. This advanced management toolkit allows scheduling of periodic tests and genera- tion of a history of the test results to validate VPN endpoints.
7 Qualit y of Service F or enterprises and ser vice providers alike, the network must be able to maintain quality of service profiles and differential service treatment from end to end. T raffic classification occurs at ingress, per-service endpoint, and is done using customer 802.
