Nortel Optical Packet Edge System

Optical Packet Edge System

Overview

Optical Packet Edge System is based on Resilient Packet Ring (RPR) technology pioneered by Nortel and standardized by the IEEE 802.17 working group. RPR allows interoperability between multi-vendor equipment and between networks of different service providers.

Key Features:

• Reduced need for external routers and DS-1/VT-1.5 facilities between LAN locations
• Seamless inter-working with SONET, and IP networks
• Metro or wide-area level traffic aggregation for efficient fiber utilization
• Efficient, cost-effective Ethernet transport between multiple, widely-separated sites
• Ability to support a mix of packet and TDM traffic over the same network
• Restoration times of less than 50ms in the case of fiber cut or node failure
