ETHERNET OVER TDM
Egate-100
Gigabit Ethernet over
TDM Aggregation Gateway
Egate-100 is a gateway for interconnecting
Gigabit Ethernet over channelized STM-1/OC-3
or three DS3 links. It is typically deployed in a
central location to aggregate Ethernet user
traffic received from remote devices, such as
RAD’s RICi Ethernet NTUs and FCD TDM access
devices, or third-party CPEs. Together with
these remote units, the Egate-100 constitutes a
complete access solution from the service
provider central site to the customer premises.
The Egate-100 Gigabit Ethernet over TDM
gateway leverages widely available PDH/SDH/
SONET networks to deliver carrier-class Ethernet
services to sites where native Ethernet is not
available.
Carriers can generate new revenue streams from
existing infrastructure, or expand out-of-region
network coverage by leasing lower cost
transmission lines as an alternative to digging
new infrastructure. Enterprises and utilities are
also able to take advantage of available SDH/
SONET transport for new Ethernet-based
applications.
Multi-site Carrier Ethernet aggregation
The Egate-100 can connect up to:
•
42 remote LANs over n x E1/T1 circuits, with
MLPPP or with GFP, VCAT and LCAS
•
63 or 84 remote LANs over E1 or T1 circuits,
respectively
•
126 remote LANs over fractional E1/T1
circuits
This unique capability enables service providers
and enterprises to deliver Ethernet Private Line
(E-line point-to-point) services at granular rates
from fractional E1 or T1 to n x E1/T1 channels.
The Egate-100 is MEF-9 EPL certified.
Since the Egate-100 functions as a bridge
operating over an SDH/SONET environment,
service providers can achieve a seamless
interconnection between customers connected
over the TDM network and customers connected
over the packet switched network, while
maintaining the same service level attributes.
Ethernet OAM is one of the cornerstones in the
transformation of Ethernet into a carrier-class
technology. The device supports single segment
OAM based on 802.3-2005 (formerly 802.3ah),
allowing for remote management and fault
indication, including connectivity check and
remote loopback.
NG-PDH encapsulation and bonding
The GFP, VCAT and LCAS standard protocols allow
service providers to dynamically allocate
bandwidth to their customers by simply changing
the number of E1 or T1 links bonded to the
virtual group, without the need to change the
device or stop the service. By incorporating
these enhanced capabilities, the Egate-100
enables higher user throughput, reduces delays
and minimizes service disruptions.
The Egate-100 replaces current solutions based
on expensive channelized STM-1/OC-3 or DS3
routers, or multi-box solutions based on
converter racks and switches. It offers the
following valuable advantages over these
alternatives:
•
Considerably reduced equipment cost
•
Single-box solution simplifies operations
•
Lower operating costs due to device
scalability, smaller footprint and low power
consumption
•
Increased service availability with port and
power supply redundancy
In order to ensure higher service uptime, the
Egate-100 features dual Gigabit Ethernet ports
with Link Aggregation according to 802.3ad, and
dual STM-1/OC-3 ports with 1+1 (MSP/APS)
protection.
Service differentiation
The Egate-100 features an advanced forwarding
model, including the following attributes:
•
User traffic classification according to ingress
port number, VLAN ID, VLAN priority, IP
Precedence, or DSCP
•
Class of service (CoS) mapping
•
Two-rate, three-color traffic policing
mechanism per CIR/CBS, EIR/EBS bandwidth
profiles
•
Configurable SP or WFQ queuing
These capabilities enable service differentiation
and SLA guarantees.
•
Aggregates Ethernet traffic over
channelized STM-1/OC-3 or three
channelized DS3 ports for hand-off to
PSN
•
Supports MLPPP as well as GFP (G.8040,
G.7041/Y.1303), VCAT (G.7043) and
LCAS (G.7042) standards
•
Enables scalable provisioning from a
fractional E1/T1 to bonded n x E1/T1
channels
•
Four SP and WFQ QoS priority queues
•
Traffic policing per flow and per EVC.CoS
•
Gigabit Ethernet and STM-1/OC-3 port
protection
•
Secure Telnet and Web applications,
SNMPv3 and RADIUS
•
NEBS-compliant
•
Optimized for IP DSLAMs and WiMAX
base station backhaul applications
