options over Gigabit <strong>Ethernet</strong> and<br />
10 Gigabit <strong>Ethernet</strong> <strong>for</strong> point-to-point,<br />
point-to-multipoint and multipoint-tomultipoint<br />
service topologies. Customer<br />
traffic can be mapped to connections<br />
based on a wide variety of criteria,<br />
including ports, VLANs, IP addresses,<br />
L2/L3 QoS marking and L2/L3 protocols.<br />
In addition to pure <strong>Ethernet</strong> connectivity,<br />
service providers can transport<br />
legacy TDM traffic over the <strong>Carrier</strong><br />
<strong>Ethernet</strong> network using Circuit Emulation<br />
Services (CES) technology.<br />

data and FE or GE data from base<br />
stations, to the MSC, the A-8100 aggregates<br />
all data and voice traffic onto<br />
Gigabit <strong>Ethernet</strong>, and STM-1/OC-3<br />
respectively. The ability of Service<br />
Providers to combine cellular backhaul<br />
with business services and residential<br />
Triple Play over the same infrastructure<br />
provides a true Universal Transport<br />
<strong>Carrier</strong> <strong>Ethernet</strong> solution.<br />
• Solid QoS and 50ms protection<br />
supports the stringent delay jitter<br />
and packet loss requirements of<br />
TDM transport over <strong>Ethernet</strong><br />
