The advent of triple play services has enabled
subscribers and businesses to share data, voice and video over the Internet.
These services require higher bandwidth, which causes excessive usage of
network resources and leads to the congestion in the network. The congestion
is often the result the bandwidth bottleneck that occurs when too many
corporate networks are connected to one Metropolitan Area Network (MAN).
Metro Ethernet has evolved to support higher speeds and
better connectivity, significantly increasing the Value-to-Performance ratio
of the system by providing powerful LAN connectivity using the Ethernet
protocol and optical fiber. Ethernet’s simple plug-and-play functionality
also ensures a simple migration path to a high-speed network.

Aricent has provided turnkey solutions in Metro
Ethernet space ranging from product development and feature enhancement to
sustenance of a Metro Ethernet switch. We have also demonstrated our
expertise in the development of IP/GigE backhaul for CDMA2000 networks.
Aricent was involved in a turnkey solution for a Metro
Ethernet edge device to be used in a DWDM network. The range of offerings
from Aricent included the design and development of Metro Ethernet switch –
a chassis based system with a virtual switch that provides features such as
an RPR ring uplink, provider Edge Bridge on a single system, provisioning of
Ethernet GigE on the downlink, QinQ (EWR), E-OAM, and MPLS on the WAN, and
IPSec and VPN tunneling security solutions. Aricent also played a major role
in designing, implementing, and integrating embedded firmware for Metro
Ethernet Bridging, PWE3, STP/RSTP, RMON1/2, and TCP/IP.
For a leading Metro Ethernet vendor, Aricent has
executed projects for developing IP/GigE backhaul for CDMA2000 networks, and
added GigE/IP/Metro Ethernet capabilities to a RAN aggregation box. Aricent
defined the complete product and leveraged its expertise to validate
hardware/software architecture and requirements, and then provided
development and testing services.
