Auto-Provisioning Routers
The optical IP network product suite includes the 5116 router, which integrates a broad set of functionalities needed for the metro core such as IP routing, switching and add-drop multiplexing on a scalable, high-density platform. The 3108 is a high capacity metro router used for interconnection of multiple metro or access rings. The 2104 features a small footprint and addresses the edge of the optical network. It is ideally suited for advanced business access, as it simplifies network operations by reducing hardware costs and physical ports in use to a minimum. Sitting at the access of the network is the 1124 router, which is deployed in immediate proximity to the customer site to service business and residential users.
The auto-provisioning capabilities of the products are leveraged by the company's Channelized Reserved Services (CRS) architecture, which manages IP-based services-on-demand and guarantees end-to-end IP QoS. The CRS architecture provides a robust platform to build and extend dynamic optical networks. The enhanced suite of offerings will support a growing list of next-generation IP-based applications such as e-commerce, broadcast quality video, IP multicast and video conferencing-on-demand.
The architecture allows for the identification of bandwidth needs for IP applications, and it can tailor the network for individual user requests. The auto-provisioning routers provide strict resource guarantees, allowing for new advanced IP services and bandwidth management as needed.
When the auto-provisioning routers are deployed in a dual ring topology, the result is a network with unmatched resiliency features. In the case of a dual link failure, the system is automatically reconfigured to a dual bus. Prioritized traffic has the ability to preempt bandwidth from channels of lower priority.
