Welcome to the January 2009 issue of EtherNEWS offered in video and Podcast versions. Each month’s edition covers a wide range of applications and solutions related to Ethernet service creation, service assurance, SLA & QoS monitoring and evolving industry standards.
This month we turn our focus to the enterprise, and the advanced traffic conditioning and monitoring tools that accelerate critical, real time applications and maintain best-in-class quality of service (QoS) over WANs. Going beyond simple byte caching and software-based applications, this month’s video tutorial explores hardware-based traffic shaping and per-application performance assurance that makes the most of limited access bandwidth while ensuring providers live up to their commitments end-to-end.

Accedian Networks’ MetroNID ™ units offer true wire-speed, multi-port aggregation that combines up to four clients’ traffic into a GbE uplink. Performed by the unit’s hardware-based Fast-Thru ™ engine, aggregation performance challenges the capabilities of high-end routers and switches.
With packet-processing this advanced, aggregated traffic can be service-mapped, filtered, rate limited and shaped without adding delay or jitter to real-time applications. More than just VLAN aggregation, traffic can be separated by C/S VLAN, MAC / IP addresses, or sophisticated layer 2-4 packet selection criteria.
With transparent fail-over, NEBS Level 3 certification, no fans or moving parts, and 3-way redundant power, MetroNID demarcation units are truly carrier-grade. A variety of mounting options, including the rack-mount EtherSHELF ™ enable easy installation at the customer premise, cell site or CO.

Hello! This is my first comment here so I just wanted to give a quick shout out and say I really enjoy reading your blog posts. Can you suggest any other blogs/websites/forums that cover the same topics? Thanks a ton!
With havin so much content and articles do you ever run into any problems of plagorism or copyright infringement? My website has a lot of completely unique content I’ve either written myself or outsourced but it seems a lot of it is popping it up all over the internet without my permission. Do you know any ways to help prevent content from being stolen? I’d definitely appreciate it.
I love what you guys are up too. Such clever work and exposure! Keep up the good works guys I’ve incorporated you guys to my blogroll.
Woah! I’m really digging the template/theme of this website. It’s simple, yet effective. A lot of times it’s very difficult to get that “perfect balance” between user friendliness and appearance. I must say that you’ve done a fantastic job with this. In addition, the blog loads super quick for me on Opera. Outstanding Blog!
Hi there this is kinda of off topic but I was wanting to know if blogs use WYSIWYG editors or if you have to manually code with HTML. I’m starting a blog soon but have no coding experience so I wanted to get guidance from someone with experience. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
I appreciate your wordpress theme, exactly where do you download it from?

I must express some thanks to you for rescuing me from this particular condition. Because of checking through the search engines and coming across ways that were not helpful, I was thinking my life was well over. Living without the presence of strategies to the issues you have fixed by means of your good write-up is a crucial case, and ones that could have in a negative way damaged my entire career if I had not noticed your web site. Your own skills and kindness in playing with the whole lot was crucial. I am not sure what I would’ve done if I had not encountered such a thing like this. I can also at this time look forward to my future. Thank you so much for your specialized and amazing help. I won’t be reluctant to propose your blog post to anyone who requires counselling on this subject.
Your web site won’t render correctly on my iphone4 – you might want to try and fix that
I’ve learned several important things via your post. I would also like to state that there will be a situation in which you will apply for a loan and don’t need a co-signer such as a Government Student Support Loan. In case you are getting financing through a classic bank or investment company then you need to be ready to have a co-signer ready to help you. The lenders can base their own decision using a few elements but the biggest will be your credit worthiness. There are some loan companies that will in addition look at your job history and make up your mind based on that but in almost all cases it will depend on your score.
I still can’t quite assume that I could be one of those studying the important guidelines found on your site. My family and I are sincerely thankful for your generosity and for offering me possibility to|the chance to pursue my personal chosen profession path. Appreciate your sharing the important information I obtained from your web-site.
