Features and Benefits
Cost-effective and scaleable entry/delivery point for
Ethernet services in the multi-tenant/multi-dwelling
units (MxUs), enterprise and service provider
point-of-presence
• Service providers are able scale their service
offerings to meet customer demand by simply
provisioning a new UNI port on an Ethernet
Service Module, as compared with adding new
equipment. Various access options to meet service
demands and range of transport alternatives to
leverage existing infrastructure
• 10/100 Mbps, 100 Mbps, Gigabit Ethernet services -
copper and fiber.
• Two Gigabit Ethernet uplink options: one or two
1000BASE-TX uplink ports or a dual-port Small
Form Factor Pluggable (SFP) Gigabit Interface
Connector (GBIC), to ensure cost-effective
transport over fiber, RPR and/or DWDM. Secure
and scalable separation of customer traffic -
transparent and mapped VLAN support
• Support up to 500 Transparent Domain Identifiers
(TDI) or VPN Identifiers (VPN-ID) for customer
separation per OPTera Metro 1000 device.
• Unique and industry-leading approach to defining
an Ethernet UNI which is consistent across the
OPTera Metro 8000 and OPTera Metro 3500.
Simple end-point provisioning for faster service
uptime and lower cost to implement
• The OPTera Metro 1000 series is provisioned with
the relevant service SLA metrics and TDI/VPN ID
information. Using the Auto Discovery feature, it
automatically learns of other sites in the customer
network - thus avoiding the need to provision
existing network devices. When adding or deleting
a new site to an existing customer network, the
service provider needs to only provision the site,
enabling Simple End-point Provisioning. Rate
limiting and QoS features to enable tiered services
and profitable SLAs
• Effective utilisation of bandwidth by tuning
bandwidth from 1 Mbps to 1000 Mbps in
increments of 1 Mbps per port, per TDI/VPN ID.
• To avoid congestion and manage traffic
effectively, the OPTera Metro 1000 has 4 egress
queues per UNI port and 8 egress queues per
uplink port. These queues are selected based on a
service provider 802.1p mapping. They allow the
network administrator to ensure the variety of
customer traffic receive the appropriate priority.
Leverages Nortel Networks Logical Provider Edge
VPN for faster time-to-market and enhanced
profitability
• By integrating the OPTera Metro 1000 series with
the strengths of multi-protocol label switching
(MPLS), Nortel Networks LPE solution provides:
support for thousands of customer in a retail
metro environment, speeds provisioning up to 10
times faster than competing solutions such as
RFC2547, and provides support for many Provider
Edge (PE) devices, such as the OPTera Metro 1000
series, and reduces operational costs by up to
60 percent.
