| Nortel and Ethos Networks to Strengthen Connection Oriented Ethernet Ethos Networks has successfully completed extensive interoperability testing with Nortel's Provider Backbone Bridging Traffic Engineering equipment (PBB-TE) to boost Ethernet capabilities for carriers and service providers. This announcement follows testing by the two companies at Nortel's laboratory facilities in Ottawa, Canada. During the testing Ethos' deterministic end-to-end Network Management System (NMS), part of the Ethos Carrier PBB-TE solution, managed and monitored a Nortel PBB-TE network. PBB-TE is a key carrier Ethernet technology pioneered by Nortel and being adopted in the industry to deliver reliable Ethernet services. The two companies demonstrated advanced capabilities that compliment PBB-TE technology as the transport for Next Generation Networks. Ethos FCAPS NMS and Nortel PBB-TE network interoperability included managing and monitoring a PBB-TE network, including service & trunk management. As a result of the extensive testing, Ethos' solution was awarded the Carrier Ethernet Ecosystem certificate of compatibility. write your comments about the article :: © 2008 Networking News :: home page |
