Cisco is adding to its Carrier Ethernet family a system that allows service providers to support multi-tenant units, as well as boosting some Carrier Ethernet products' ability to stretch 50ms resiliency from core to premise.
Cisco’s ME 3400 24FS Ethernet switch is an 8.8Gbps device that sports 24 100Mbps Fast Ethernet copper or fiber small form-factor pluggable (SFP) ports, and two Gigabit Ethernet SFP uplinks. Software features include quality of service, rate limiting, multicast control, security, 802.1Q Tunneling, Layer 2 Protocol Tunneling, IP routing, multi-VPN routing and policy-based routing.
The 3400 FS, along with other switches in the Cisco Carrier Ethernet portfolio, also supports the 50ms SONET/SDH resiliency feature. This software upgrade is intended to bring SONET/SDH SLAs to Ethernet, in either ring or mesh topologies, via Cisco’s Resilient Ethernet Protocol technology. More about the enhancements in Jim Duffy's Network World story here.
