MetroNODE 10GE
High Performance Service Assurance Demarcation and OAM Aggregation Nodes
MetroNODE 10GE high performance service assurance nodes provide the most accurate, lowest delay, highest capacity service assurance capabilities with wire-speed, high-density monitoring and advanced service creation capabilities seamlessly integrated into a reliable, compact and power-efficient package. Accedian MetroNODE 10GE Platform In response to demand for ever increasing accuracy and capacity in service performance monitoring equipment, Accedian has built an ultra low delay 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10GbE) service assurance platform based upon our award-winning 1 Gigabit Ethernet (1GbE) NIDs. Accedians 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
Network Element (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 100s 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.

Customer Edge (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.

Wire-Speed 10GbE Performance The MetroNODE 10GE nodes deliver high performance service assurance monitoring to mission-critical, high-density, 10GbE applications.They feature Accedians Fast-PAAs hardware-based engine at the core and an architecture proven in the widely deployed EtherNID and MetroNID service assurance demarcation units. Purpose-built for the needs of 3G & 4G wireless backhaul, business services, wholesale access and inter-carrier exchange services, the MetroNODE 10GE nodes provide scalable wire speed Y.1731 and 802.1ag Ethernet OAM, as well as layer 2 & 3 monitoring. This is complemented by bandwidth policy enforcement and VLAN-based service mapping to deliver total visibility and control for a10GbE network infrastructure. The Fast-PAAs silicon core ensures quality of service (QoS) marking, enforcement and traffic conditioning on the highest capacity network links. Fast-PAAs eliminates the delay of store-and-forward processing of Ethernet switches and routers providing the lowest delay solution available today. This enables the MetroNODE NE to effortlessly handle 1,000s of flows in a full line-rate link with mere microsecond transit time. Applications Purpose-built for demanding, high-density, QoS-sensitive applications, the MetroNODE 10GE shines under traffic loads that can choke other network elements. No matter how intense it gets, this unit delivers performance with precision.

3G & 4G Wireless Backhaul With support for 100 concurrent, per-flow OAM sessions at the edge (CE) and 1,000 flows at the Mobile Switching Center (NE) the MetroNODE 10GE platform provides standardsbased visibility to every tower, for every class of service. Assuring vital SLAs, the inservice Performance Assurance Agent monitors Ethernet & IP QoS over point-to-point, hub-and-spoke and full-mesh topologies to every cell site, as well as over critical transport links in the Evolved Packet Core (EPC). Carrier Ethernet service mapping, and bi-directional hierarchical bandwidth policing enable the MetroNODE 10GE NE node to establish, terminate and optimize up to 100s of EVCs in near-zero delay.

Used in conjunction with the EtherNID, MetroNID or MetroNODE 10GE CE service demarcation units located at remote cell sites, the MetroNODE 10GE NE aggregation unit enables providers to monitor and guarantee QoS levels for all the services deployed throughout their backhaul network.

Eliminate costly switches & routers at customer premises and boost performance using the MetroNODE 10GE.

Ethernet Business Services The largest enterprises are moving up to 10GbE to consolidate their WAN connections, now carrying business-critical financial, transactional, real-time communications and distributed computing applications. With SLAs and reporting becoming more important every day, the MetroNODE 10GE is the platform of choice, ensuring all services are carefully monitored and maintained without impacting performance on mission-critical 10GbE backbone networks.
Wholesale Customer EchoVault SLA EMS

Wholesale Provider

High Capacity Wholesale Ethernet Access Providing cost-effective, ubiquitous 10GbE services often requires extending services over Ethernet Virtual Connections (EVCs) over Ethernet wholesale circuits provided by 3rd party network operators. To take advantage of this rapidly growing market, carriers need efficient 10 GbE hand-offs at the External Network to Network Interface (ENNI). Adding nearly no delay while providing CoS mapping, H-QoS, multi-layer VLAN tagging, Ethernet OAM and complete SLA monitoring, the MetroNODE 10GE unit offers operators a turn-key, service assured wholesale solution thats fully compliant with the MEF 20 UNI-Type 2 standard. With Accedian Networks EtherNID or MetroNID units located at remote customer sites, providers can assure QoS to off-net customers and use Ethernet wholesale to expand their service footprint.
