Applications

Wire-Speed 10GbE Performance

The MetroNODE 10GE nodes deliver high performance service assurance monitoring to mission-critical, high-density, 10GbE applications. They feature Accedian’s Fast-PAAs™ hardware-based engine at the core and an architecture proven in the widely deployed EtherNID® and MetroNID® service assurance demarcation units.

Purpose-built for the needs of 3G & 4G wireless backhaul, business services, wholesale access and inter-carrier exchange services, the MetroNODE 10GE nodes provide scalable wire speed ITU-T Y.1731 and IEEE 802.1ag Ethernet OAM, as well as Layer 2 and 3 monitoring. This is complemented by bandwidth policy enforcement and VLAN-based service mapping to deliver total visibility and control for a 10GbE network infrastructure.

The Fast-PAAs silicon core ensures quality of service (QoS) marking, bandwidth profi le enforcement and traffi c conditioning on the highest capacity network links. Fast-PAAs eliminates the delay of store-and-forward processing of Ethernet switches and routers providing the lowest delay solution available today. This enables the MetroNODE 10GE NE to effortlessly handle hundreds of fl ows in a full line-rate link with mere microsecond transit time.

Purpose-built for demanding, high-density, QoS-sensitive applications, the MetroNODE 10GE shines under traffi c loads that can choke other network elements. No matter how intense it gets, this unit delivers performance with precision.

3G & 4G Wireless Backhaul

With support for 100 concurrent, per-fl ow OAM sessions at the edge (CE) and 1,000 fl ows at the Mobile Switching Center (NE) the MetroNODE 10GE platform provides standards-based visibility to every tower, for every class of service. Assuring vital SLAs, the in-service Performance Assurance Agent™ monitors Ethernet & IP QoS over point-to-point, hub-and-spoke, ring and full-mesh topologies to every cell site, as well as over critical transport links in the Evolved Packet Core (EPC).

Carrier Ethernet service mapping, and bi-directional bandwidth policing enable the MetroNODE 10GE NE node to establish, terminate and optimize up to 250 EVCs per port in near-zero delay.

Used in conjunction with the EtherNID®, MetroNID® or MetroNODE 10GE CE service demarcation units located at remote cell sites, the MetroNODE 10GE NE OAM aggregation unit enables providers to monitor and guarantee QoS levels for all the services deployed throughout their backhaul network.

High Capacity Ring Protection with EVC Add/Drop Service Delivery

Leveraging high performance ring protection based upon ITU-T G.8032v2 with sub 50ms failover switching, the Accedian MetroNODE 10GE can be used to extend highly resilient protected Ethernet services to support Carrier Ethernet applications including Mobile Backhaul and Business Services. The ITU-T G.8032v2 support for the MetroNODE 10GE can be used standalone to deliver protected 10GbE or 1GbE services to cell sites or subscriber locations. Used in combination with Accedian 1GbE MetroNIDs, the MetroNODE 10GE can deliver up to 6 connections of fractional 1GbE services over the ITU-T G.8032v2 protected 10GbE ring. The ring protection and EVC add/drop capability of the MetroNODE 10GE provides network architects with a fl exible and scalable alternative to switches and routers for delivering resilient Ethernet services over optical ring network topologies.
