MetroNODE 10 GE™ FamilyDemarcation and OAM Aggregation Nodes for 10 Gigabit Ethernet NetworksMetroNODE 10GE high performance service assurance nodes provide the most accurate, lowest delay, highest capacity service assurance capabilities. Leveraging Accedian’s ultra-low delay Fast-PAAs™ hardware-based core, the units feature with wire-speed, high-density monitoring and advanced service creation capabilities seamlessly integrated into a reliable, compact and power-efficient package.
When it comes to demanding, high-density, QoS-sensitive applications, the MetroNODE 10GE platform shines under traffic loads that can choke other network elements. No matter how intense it gets, these units deliver performance with precision. With scalable wire speed Y.1731 and 802.1ag Ethernet OAM, layer 2 & 3 monitoring, bandwidth policy enforcement and VLAN-based service mapping, the MetroNODE 10GE nodes deliver total visibility and control for any 10GbE network infrastructure. Our MetroNODE 10GE platform consists of a Network Element (NE) aggregation node along with a Customer Edge (CE) demarcation node. Both deliver the features carriers demand, optimized for price/performance at both the core and edge of the network. MetroNODE 10GE NE™ Node is a high capacity, low delay OAM aggregation node designed for core network applications, including both core to core and core to edge. Capable of handling 100’s of Ethernet Virtual Connections and 1,000 individual OAM sessions, the NE is ideally suited to aggregate service assurance connections from NIDs located throughout the network. MetroNODE 10GE™ CE Node is a 10GbE demarcation device suitable for deployment at the network edge. With line rate traffic conditioning and simple to provision VLAN service creation features, the CE is a cost-effective alternative to deploying a 10GbE switch/router at the customer edge of the service connection. Ultra Low Latency Fast-PAAs™ Processor
Wire-Speed Performance
At the core of the MetroNODE 10GE is Accedian’s Fast-PAAs™ hardware-based processor—an architecture proven in the widely deployed EtherNID® and MetroNID® service assurance demarcation units. Fast-PAAs eliminates the delay of store-and-forward processing of Ethernet switches and routers providing the lowest delay solution available today.
With a silicon core that ensures quality of service (QoS) marking, enforcement and traffic conditioning on the highest capacity network links, the MetroNODE NE effortlessly handles 1,000 flows in a full line-rate link with mere microsecond transit time.
