Description
The CopperNodeHE Ethernet over Copper head end aggregator is designed to support the deployment of next-generation transport solutions for existing widespread copper based PDH infrastructures by providing an effective solution for packet network handoff of Ethernet data. The integration of both 10/100/1000 Ethernet ports and a packet bus allow the system developer to use commercially available switching silicon or higher value network processors to perform packet classification, aggregation or processing prior to delivery of the packet stream or streams to a router.
Using standardized Virtual Concatenation, individual transport links can be bonded together into higher capacity virtual links. The integrated Link Capacity Adjustment Scheme (LCAS) protects against member link failures and also provides a mechanism for increasing or decreasing the bandwidth of any virtual link by changing the number of members. CopperNodeHE supports both Frame Mapped GFP and HDLC based packet encapsulation to provide compatibility with existing and emerging network equipment from multiple vendors. CopperNodeHE also allows for onboard Layer 2 aggregation of multiple Ethernet client flows into a single transport container.
As with all Galazar IC technology, CopperNodeHE is fully integrated in Galazar's industry leading and field proven configuration and management framework. This framework provides advanced capabilities such as warm start, interrupt management and a wide variety of troubleshooting tools, and is accompanied by extensive hyperlinked documentation and customer system support.
