Building Multiservice Transport Networks

Meer over het boek

The need to interconnect LANs and storage area networks (SANs) across dispersed enterprise and campus environments is dramatically increasing. To meet this need, a new generation of SONET and dense wavelength-division multiplexing (DWDM) systems has emerged. These systems provide the functions of multiple network elements in a single platform called a multiservice provisioning platform (MSPP). Cisco Systems provides a MSPP called the Cisco ONS 15454 Multiservice Provisioning Platform for both service provider and enterprise networks. The Cisco ONS 15454 provides time-division multiplexing (TDM), SONET/SDH, DWDM, and data solutions. Data solutions include support for both Ethernet and SAN applications.
