whitepaper This paper reviews the current Ethernet product offerings for the Cisco ONS 15454 multi-service provisioning platforms (MSPPs) and then discusses how they can be applied to deliver scalable, high-speed, reliable data services today.
[10 Apr 2008]
whitepaper These networks are based in part on fiber-optic telecommunications infrastructure, including network architectures of Synchronous Optical Network (commonly referred to as SONET), the North American standard for synchronous data transmission; and...
[10 Apr 2008]
whitepaper FPL implemented CIENA's CN 2000 Storage Extension Solution which extends up to 16 Fibre Channel (FC), Gigabit Ethernet (GbE), ESCON, and FICONTM applications across any SONET/SDH, WDM, or Dark Fiber network through DS3, OC-3/12/48, or STM-1/4/16...
[10 Apr 2008]
whitepaper This white paper demonstrates how to overcome the historical limitations of Ethernet and defines the carrier-grade requirements for Optical Ethernet solutions so service providers can benefit from the carrier-grade features of SONET/SDH without...

whitepaper The Lucent Universal Packet Mux (UPM) presents a significant contribution in this direction, through collapsing the transport aspects of Ethernet, VPLS/MPLS, SDH/SONET, WDM/OTN and GMPLS into a scalable and flexible platform.
[10 Apr 2008]
whitepaper Both of these interfaces support transmission at 9.6 Gbps, support SONET/SDH framing, and can be connected to SONET/SDH ADM or DWDM gear. The introduction of 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10 GbE) WAN PHY into the IP/Ethernet networking community has led to...
[07 Feb 2008]
whitepaper This paper proposes mathematical programming models for the design of two-layer networks where MPLS is considered on top of transport networks (SDH or WDM depending on required link speed). The possibility of adding MPLS support to transport...
