Accedian Networks Introduces Ethernet Service Creation

By Anshu Shrivastava, TMCnet Contributor
 

Accedian Networks (News - Alert) -- a provider of Packet Performance Assurance solutions for telecom, cable and wireless operators -- has introduced the addition of Ethernet service creation functionality to its EtherNID packet assurance demarcation units.


EtherNID units -- which are installed at customer premises and cell sites for service demarcation -- are located to create Ethernet Virtual Circuits (EVCs) and assure their end-to-end performance.

According to Accedian officials, service mapping capabilities allow service providers to establish transparent Ethernet LAN services end-to-end, across multi-vendor, multi-technology and multi-carrier networks, and without having to replace or reconfigure existing network elements.

Officials pointed out that the EtherNID unit’s hardware data-path and in-line packet processing capabilities provide service mapping without affecting delay and jitter-sensitive real-time applications, such as VoIP, IPTV (News - Alert), video conferencing and transactional services.

Also, per-flow bandwidth profiling, service classification, traffic regulation and filtering provide end-to-end performance and traffic management independent of existing switching equipment.

This functionality, according to officials, allows providers to offer Ethernet services backed by service level agreements (SLAs) that are otherwise difficult to establish over networks commonly built with equipment from multiple vendors.

“EVC service creation functionality was requested by many of our customers, who currently use our Ethernet Service Assurance Platform (ESAP TM) for in-service performance validation, loopback testing and monitoring of some of the most stringent SLAs in wireless and wireline communications,” stated Patrick Ostiguy (News - Alert), founding President and CEO of Accedian Networks.

He noted in a statement that with complex, consolidated and converged networks, providers are looking for a simple, cost-efficient way to create and assure Ethernet services independent of the underlying network architecture connecting their customers.

Accedian Networks is provider of Packet Performance Assurance solutions that enable wireless operators, service providers and cable MSOs to deliver carrier-grade, packet-based applications including VoIP, IPTV, video-conferencing and transparent LAN services over Ethernet, IP/MPLS, and wireless 3G / 4G / WiMAX (News - Alert) networks.
