Aggr
egation of GbE Network Traffic
The GE8 module available for use with the
iMAP 9000 series is a new advancement in line
card flexibility. As network bandwidth continues
to grow, Service Providers find increasing
bandwidth requirements farther in the local
loop. The ability to maintain a single IP
infrastructure to address Network Transport
bandwidth as well as last mile access bandwidth
is pivotal for any network operator.
The GE8 module is primarily intended to be
used as an aggregation element with the
introduction of Allied Telesis’ 10G iMAP
common control upgrade (CFC56 and XE1).
Combined, these modules provide 10G
transport bandwidth as well as aggregation of
up to 8 GbE feeds per GE8 module. When
used in the iMAP Resource Module slots, a pair
of GE8 modules can be used to subtend up to
8 EPSR
T
M
rings providing an extremely flexible,
reliable and dense aggregation point from any
netw
ork location.
If point-to-point aggregation links are required,
the GE8 provides cost effective and feature rich
aggregation to any GbE network element. As
netw
ork designs continue to blend the line
between Access and Transport, the GE8 will
become a key component of any IP Triple Play
network design.
Metr
o Ethernet Connectivity
With the GE8 module, the Allied Telesis iMAP
is ideally suited for delivering GbE services to
any Enterprise or business location relying on
last mile fiber access. With advanced features
including per VLAN rate limiting, the GE8
module can be used as either a network
interface for subtended remote locations or
for point-to-point connectivity to a strategic
business.
The GE8 module supports up to 4095 VLANs
and can be used to pro
vide business Ethernet
services. Whether serving customers from
traditional COs, CEVs, RTs or an Enterprise, the
iMAP and GE8 module offers wirespeed and
non-blocking bandwidth for any IP/Ethernet
application.
Part of Allied Telesis’ IP Broadband
Access Family
Whether it is broadband ADSL2+, FTTH or
PO
TS,
the iMAP famil
y is the ideal platf
or
m
for last mile service delivery.The GE8 line card
can be used with any of the iMAP family of
carrier grade, IP Multiservice Access platforms:
• iMAP 9700 (9RU, 17 service slots)
• iMAP 9400 (3RU
,
7 ser
vice slots)
• Min
iMAP 9100 (1RU
,
3 ser
vice slots)
Provisioning, management, and diagnostics of
subscriber ports can be accomplished from
either the iMAP command line interface or the
NMS.
The AT-TN117 has been designed to survive
the most r
ugged en
vironmental conditions.
It
can be confidently deployed in either a central
off
ice or in outdoor enclosures withstanding
extremes of heat, cold, and light exposure.
