Fujitsu Adds Connection-oriented Ethernet To P-onps

摘要

Fujitsu Network Communications announced IEEE standard Provider Backbone Bridging with Traffic Engineering (PBB-TE) support for its newly announced FLASHWAVE CDS and FLASHWAVE 9500 packet optical networking platforms.rn"Service providers are looking for a mix of standards-based technologies that can accelerate their transition to a flexible Ethernet-based aggregation and transport infrastructure," said Stan Hubbard, senior analyst at Heavy Reading. "Connection-oriented Ethernet using PBB-TE allows the deployment of an Ethernet infrastructure that bears all the classic optical infrastructure characteristics - like 50-msec protecting switching, protocol transparency, private-line quality of service, and robust fault management on software-simple elements -that have allowed service providers to build profitable, scalable network businesses. The end result is an efficient solution that aggregates and transports Ethernet connections to core IP/ MPLS/VPLS networks while simultaneously supporting native E-Line services."
