Description:

The Multi-Service Ethernet (MSE) family of Ethernet service mappers incorporates the latest generation of standards based Ethernet over SONET (EoS) technology, including Generic Framing Protocol (GFP) and Virtual Concatenation (VCAT). It enables cost-effective, dynamic, flexible and efficient bandwidth provisioning of Ethernet services across today’s multi-vendor SONET networking environment.

The Multi-Service Ethernet Mapper family consists of the following offerings:

• Electrical 10/100 Mb/s MSE Card without L2 Switch (MSE4) – Point to Point
  application
• Optical 100FX MSE Card without L2 Switch (MSE4FX) – Point to Point
  application
• Electrical 10/100 MSE Card with L2 Switch (MSE4S) – Point to Multi-Point
  application

Benefits:

• Efficient Transport of Ethernet over SONET (EoS) – Point to Point,
  Point to Multi-Point
• Supports Rapid and Flexible Bandwidth Provisioning
• Ensures Ethernet Service Connectivity is Robustly Managed
• Traffic protection

Features:

• Standards based GFP/VCAT enabling effective multi-vendor
  interoperability
• Integrated L2 switching functionality
• Flexible bandwidth, virtual concatenation with groups of VT1.5
• Support for extended frame lengths such as Cisco ISL
• TL1 and OSIRIS-VUETM/AE-VUETM support with end to end provisioning
• Software configurable application support (Point to Point,
  Point to Multi-Point)
