RSS bandwidth layer 2Scalable Layer-2/Layer-3 Multistage Switching Architectures for Software Routers
White Paper To overcome these limitations, this paper presents a multistage architecture which combines a layer-2 load-balancer front-end and a layer-3 routing back-end, interconnected by a standard Ethernet switch. [04 Aug 2008]
Cisco IOS MPLS Bandwidth-Assured Layer 2 Services
White Paper Cisco IOS MPLS Bandwidth-Assured Layer 2 Services is a standards-based solution that enables the deployment of premium Layer 2 services over a Multi Protocol Label Switching (MPLS) network. Using MPLS as the core technology, service providers can... [04 Aug 2008]
Foundry and Mitel Deliver Scalable Voice and Data Solution for Large Medical Imaging Center
White Paper SDMI deployed Foundry's BigIron Layer 2/Layer 3 switches within two locations. As SDMI reviewed its existing network's ability to support PACS, they realized the architecture would not scale to meet the bandwidth and performance requirements... [18 Jul 2008]
PLDT, the Leading Telecommunications Provider in the Philippines, Selects Allied Telesis Advanced Gigabit Switches for the Layer 2 Aggregation Requirements of Its Next Generation Network
White Paper The company needed a dramatic network bandwidth increase and security/confidentiality of subscriber's network traffic. Philippine Long Distance Telephone Company (PLDT) started out as a POTS (plain old telephone service) provider. [18 Jul 2008]
Forward-Thinking School District Learns How Affordable Layer 3 Can Be
White Paper The district jumped at the chance to deploy Layer 3 rather than the planned Layer 2 solution. Allied Telesyn's Rapier family of Layer 3 switch/routers forms the foundation for PPS to build the network infrastructure to its specific requirements. [18 Jul 2008]
Deploying Ethernet Access for Business Services
White Paper Recognizing the need to converge networks in the future, Swisscom made the decision to build a single Carrier Ethernet infrastructure that could simultaneously deliver both Layer 2 and Layer 3 Ethernet services with customer-managed or Swisscom... [11 Jul 2008]
Growth in Bandwidth Demand Leads Wholesaler to Foundry
White Paper GlobalConnect, one of Europe's largest independent suppliers of fiber-optic infrastructure, is augmenting its existing circuit-switch-based infrastructure with one based on Foundry Networks Layer 2/Layer 3 FastIron Edge X Series. [11 Jul 2008]
Quality of Service Routing in MPLS Networks Using Delay and Bandwidth Constraints
White Paper Multi-Protocol Label Switching (MPLS) has been proposed as a new approach for integrating layer 3 routing with the layer 2 switching. It integrates the label swapping paradigm of layer 2 (e.g. ATM and Frame Relay) with the routing of layer 3 (e.g. [11 Jul 2008]
Ethernet - The Next Generation WAN Transport Technology
White Paper As the IEEE ratifies 802.3ae - the standard for 10 Gigabit Ethernet - OSI layer 2 for LAN, MAN, and WAN can now be united under a single medium, Ethernet. Ethernet has grown in market share, supported IEEE-based and IETF-based standards, and... [10 Jul 2008]
Experiences With Class of Service (CoS) Translations in IP/MPLS Networks
White Paper Since most of the layer-2 technologies provide support for strict QoS, an appropriate translation from the coarse grained IP CoS to the fine-grained layer-2 QoS is fundamental to obtaining desired end-to-end throughput. [10 Jul 2008]
Multi-Protocol Label Switching (MPLS): Using MPLS to Build an Application-Centric Network
White Paper This paper discusses the mechanics of using Multi-Protocol Label Switching (MPLS) to enable highly scalable, intelligent Layer 2 and 3 Quality of Service (QoS), privacy and end-to-end connectivity in either Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) or... [10 Jul 2008]
QoS Implementation for MPLS Based Wireless Networks
White Paper Mulitprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) is a newer technology that offers service integration, layer 2 switching and connection orientedness, that allows traffic engineering control traffic flows in the network. [10 Jul 2008]
Lightpath's Optical Network Quickly Responds to Changing Data Demands of Business Customers
White Paper Cisco ONS 15454 is an extremely flexible platform that delivers Layer 1 TDM services, such as DS-1 and DS-3, as well as SONET services from OC-3 thru OC-192. It needed much higher bandwidth in its core, distribution and access rings and it wanted... [03 Jul 2008]
Voice over ATM - a Stepping Stone to Converged Broadband Packet Network
White Paper The paper also highlights how the characteristics of ATM Adaptation Layer 2 (AAL2) are best suited to the efficient transfer of VoATM. It offers efficient use of bandwidth, high network efficiency and therefore, low operational costs. [03 Jul 2008]
IP Switching
White Paper Several proposals involving application of layer 2 switching technology to layer 3 routing have been made to counter above challenges. The rapid growth of Internet and increase in real-time and multimedia applications have created a need to improve... [03 Jul 2008]
