FSP 150M

The Ethernet aggregation device

ADVA Optical Networking’s FSP 150 family of Ethernet access products provides devices for Ethernet demarcation, extension and aggregation to support delivery of intelligent Ethernet services both in region and out of region.

ADVA Optical Networking’s FSP 150M product family provides Ethernet aggregation and extension over available fiber facilities and supports carrier grade transport architectures such as 1+1 and ring/chain topologies. IEEE802.1Q and IEEE802.1ad Q in Q (stacked) VLAN tagging allow the aggregation devices to perform up to 1:1000 port aggregation while providing VLAN separation between services and customers. This highly scalable aggregation ratio allows the FSP 150M to take advantage of the low typical bandwidth fill at the provider edge switch or router and therefore to dramatically reduce port counts and costs.

The FSP 150 family is ideal for a variety of E-Line/LAN business services, high availability (redundant) Ethernet services or DSLAM backhaul/aggregation applications. It can greatly simplify the provisioning and management of VLAN based access architectures and by using Small Form factor Pluggable (SFP) optical devices can address a wide range of optical fibers, reaches, wavelengths and even single fiber (BX) applications.

ETHERJACK®
ADVA Optical Networking’s patent pending Etherjack® technology allows a carrier to deploy profitable Ethernet services by providing the industry’s first intelligent Ethernet demarcation point which includes an 802.1ag/802.3ah aligned Network Interface Device (NID) or Network Termination Equipment (NTE) for OAM functionality plus an MEF aligned User Network Interface (UNI) for providing advanced services definition. The Etherjack® NID includes: Etherjack® Connection Performance Analyzer (ECPA) along with port level and VLAN level loopbacks to enable a carrier to remotely diagnose faults and verify Ethernet Virtual Connection (EVC) SLA conformance using RFC-2544 test suites. In addition, Etherjack® Service Assurance (ESA) provides in-service SLA monitoring critical for offering carrier grade Ethernet services. The Etherjack® service UNI provides service intelligence necessary for defining CIR, PIR and burst size of individual ports, priorities or VLANs. It uses 802.1p, 802.1q, TOS or DSCP to classify traffic into EVCs, VLANs or priority level. ADVA Optical Networking's unique demarcation function enables carriers to provide differentiated profitable Ethernet services.
