Connection-Oriented Ethernet
Mission-critical networks demand performance with a high quality of service. Yet, data services with Ethernet have typically been best effort. Connection-Oriented Ethernet (COE) delivers the dependability of a circuit-based network to packet-based services – 50 msec restoration, deterministic jitter, delay and throughput, thousands of connections and simple operations.
Based on emerging Ethernet standards, COE uses hardware-enabled advanced traffic management for guaranteed service level agreements (SLAs) and realizes the benefits of layer 2 aggregation with transport provisioning and management.
COE delivers packet services with the resiliency to survive in mission-critical networks with various technologies.
- MPLS
- Pseudo- wire encapsulates and carriers TDM and other protocol traffic
- Label Switched Paths (LSP’s) are used to define traffic pathways and latency
- MPLS Fast Re-Route (FRR) provides restoration from failures in 50 msec
- PBB-TE/PBT
- Circuit emulation technologies encapsulate and carry TDM and other protocol traffic
- PBB virtual tunnels are used to define traffic pathways and latency
- PBB pre-defined failover provides sub-50 msec failure restoration
- C/DWDM
- Provides point-to-point connectivity, minimizing latency and delay in switched networks
Connection-Oriented Ethernet Network
The key features and benefits of COE include:
- Box Consolidation – multiple functions in one chassis reduces operational, port, power and space expenses
- Flexibility – Supports network growth and evolution from TDM to packet
- Technology Integration – a single OAM&P for end-to-end services
- Remotely Provisionable – ROADMs provide the flexibility to change with changing network requirements
- Increased Reliability – consolidated functions eliminates points-of-failure such as jumpers and simplifies protection
