The IPmux-11 customer-located Ethernet
multiservice gateway enhances the IPmux line of TDMoIP devices with
extended Ethernet support. In addition to delivering TDM-based services
over packet switched networks (PSNs), the IPmux-11 offers advanced Layer
2 (Ethernet) traffic engineering capabilities.
Converged Packet-Switched Network Saves Costs
RAD's IPmux-11 Ethernet multiservice gateway
reduces operating expenses by delivering virtually all TDM, data and LAN
services over IP/Ethernet/MPLS networks. End users continue to receive
all familiar services, and carriers and service providers maintain
revenues from legacy services. Its compact size, easy installation and
support for multiple legacy and next generation Ethernet- and IP-based
services make the IPmux-11 ideal for small and medium-sized enterprises
(SMEs).
Intelligent Demarcation Assures End-to-End
Control
Ethernet, originally designed for use in private
networks, is now also used across the wide area network (WAN). The
IPmux-11 is a customer-located device (CLE), owned and operated by the
carrier and installed at the customer premises. It marks a clear
demarcation between the customer's LAN and the carrier's WAN, allowing
the carrier to isolate each customer's traffic, provide secure VPNs over
the WAN and assure end-to-end control of the carrier's network.
Native Ethernet in the Last Mile
In anticipation of the future all-Ethernet
network, more and more customers are connecting to the carrier's
point-of-presence (POP) over fibre Ethernet in the Local Loop. The
IPmux-11 located at the customer premises carries all customer traffic
over this Last Mile segment.
Enhanced Layer 2 (Ethernet) Traffic Engineering
IPmux-11 serves business customers' growing need
for transparent LAN services (TLS) such as LAN-to-LAN interconnection
and Ethernet connectivity to service providers. Enhanced features such
as VLAN-based rate limiting per port enable the operator to provide
multiple virtual private networks (VPNs) over the packet network. VLAN
stacking allows mapping the customer's private VLANs to the carrier's
service VLANs, and assigning different attributes (priorities/tags) to
different services.
Interfaces
IPmux-11 comes equipped with the following
interfaces: - Standard E1/T1 port - External clock port (E1/T1 rate) -
Two Ethernet ports with optional 10/100BaseT or 100BaseFx interface;
serve as network or user ports - One Ethernet port with 10/100BaseT
interface; used only for LAN connectivity |
