Lucent Ethernet Routers pass all 170 tests providing service guarantees for
business and residential 'triple play' voice, data and video services
CHICAGO and MURRAY HILL, N.J., June 6 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ --
GLOBALCOMM BOOTH #13015 -- Lucent Technologies today announced that its
entire Lucent Ethernet Router family of products (acquired from Riverstone
Networks) has received certification for compliance with Metro Ethernet
Forum's "MEF 14" specifications for metro Ethernet traffic management. The
certification process is designed to evaluate platforms for their ability
to support bandwidth management and performance criteria needed to ensure
support for Ethernet quality of service (QoS) and service level agreements
(SLAs) in business and residential "triple play" voice, data and video
services such as IPTV, video on demand, voice over IP and more.
The Lucent platforms successfully passed all 170 tests -- both
mandatory and optional -- included in the certification regime, confirming
support for three sets of services defined by the Metro Ethernet Forum,
including Ethernet Private Line (EPL) Ethernet Virtual Private Line (EVPL)
and Ethernet LAN (ELAN) services.
The Lucent Ethernet Routers, including the 1100, 3100, 3200, 8000,
8600, 15800 and 38000 products were tested by Iometrix test laboratory and
have been certified to comply with the requirements established in the MEF
14 "Abstract Test Suite for Traffic Management Phase 1. The Lucent Ethernet
routers are among the first group of products to receive the MEF 14
certification and were also among the first to receive carrier Ethernet
certification compliant with MEF 9 technical specification last year.
The carrier-class Lucent Ethernet Routers together with Lucent's
optical, data networking and broadband access products create an efficient,
cost-optimized end-to-end architecture for delivering a comprehensive set
of services. Service providers can benefit from this integration by
extending their service portfolio to include Ethernet Virtual Private
Network (VPN) services and by evolving their network infrastructure to a
converged service architecture based on the latest carrier Ethernet
capabilities and standards.
The Lucent Ethernet Router portfolio delivers scalable, carrier
Ethernet solutions from access to core, while optimizing network cost.
These Ethernet routers support the most stringent carrier availability
requirements enable technology optimization for every point in the network
by supporting Ethernet switching, Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS),
Virtual Private LAN services (VPLS), Hierarchical-VPLS, and providing H-QoS
for the delivery of expected user quality of experience for each service in
the bundle. For further information about the Lucent Ethernet Router family
