World Wide Packets announced new enhancements that enable its “LightningEdge” product family to deliver Virtual Private Services (VPS) over Ethernet and/or MPLS. World Wide Packets said its new VPS offering enables guaranteed and explicit Quality of Service per application. VPS also allows the service provider to provide one or many services over a single physical subscriber port using flexible topology and deployment scenarios such as Per-Port-Per VLAN and Layer 2 control frame transport.
New products include the LE-54v Access Portal, a compact, high-performance customer service demarcation platform for ring-based topologies. It features two, 1 Gbps Small Form-Factor Pluggable (SFP) optical Ethernet ports and eight 10/100 Mb copper subscriber ports. World Wide Packets is also introducing the LE-311v Access Concentrator, featuring four, 1 Gbps SFP optical Ethernet ports, twenty-four 10/100 Mb copper subscriber ports, and support for one or two pluggable AC or DC power supplies. Both the LE-54v and LE-311v support large numbers of MAC addresses and MPLS labels to enable cost-efficient large-scale subscriber deployments. They also support any variant of LDP, RSVP, and BGP signaling protocols, enabling service providers to automate provisioning beyond the MPLS core switching platforms directly to the subscriber demarcation points. http://www.worldwidepackets.com
