The Alcatel-Lucent MBNS solution is based on the Alcatel-Lucent Business
VPN Service Delivery Architecture, shown in Figure 4. It incorporates the
following products from the Alcatel-Lucent service routing portfolio:
• Alcatel-Lucent 7450 Ethernet Service Switch (ESS)
• Alcatel-Lucent 7750 Service Router (SR)
• Alcatel-Lucent 7710 SR
• Alcatel-Lucent 5620 Service Aware Manager (SAM)
• Alcatel-Lucent 5650 Control Plane Assurance Manager (CPAM)
This architecture provides an IP/MPLS service aggregation and edge network
that offers superior performance, scalability, QoS, reliability and availability.
As a result, the robust service-aware infrastructure can support a broad range
of secure, flexible, always-on services.
The architecture allows you to offer both Carrier Ethernet VPNs enabled by
VPLS and premium IP VPNs on a single, cost-effective, highly scalable and
reliable platform. You can also offer a broader selection of services and appeal
to a wider range of enterprises, from small and medium enterprises (SMEs)
to large enterprises. Service-aware management and control plane assurance
management enable rapid service provisioning, efficient fault isolation and re-
pair — along with performance monitoring to meet application requirements.
In addition, the customer self-care portal allows customers to maintain control
and monitor services against agreed SLAs, while reducing your OPEX.

Metro ethernet foruM
(Mef) certification
The Alcatel-Lucent 7450 ESS,
7750 SR and 7710 SR products
— and the majority of Alcatel-
Lucent Ethernet business access
CPE products — have been
fully certified independently
to comply with the MEF 9 and
MEF 14 specifications for Carrier
Ethernet services and managed
QoS under the MEF Carrier
Ethernet certification program.
The Alcatel-Lucent 7450 ESS,
7750 SR, 7710 SR and 1850 TSS
were tested to determine that
each platform delivers Ethernet
services to the MEF 9 and MEF
14 test specifications.
