XO Communications Deploys Ciena's Carrier Ethernet Service Delivery Switches
Posted on: Wednesday, 15 October 2008, 12:00 CDT
US-based XO Communications has deployed Ciena Corporation's carrier ethernet service delivery switches throughout its metropolitan networks as part of its new ethernet hub service.
According to Ciena, XO is deploying its LE-311v in all metro markets to provide the ethernet network-to-network interface function of the ethernet hub service - identifying, separating and tagging different traffic types, aggregating the traffic for hand-off to XO's core network and switching the traffic across the network with the appropriate class-of-service, security and rate-limits in a point-to-multipoint architecture.
Randy Nicklas, chief technology officer at XO Communications, said: "As traffic from multiple customers converges onto our network, Ciena's programmable platforms enable us to ensure each customer's traffic is switched to its destination with the proper class-of-service, in real time, and with remote network monitoring and control to enable rapid fault resolution and end-to-end SLA verification."
