Edgile 4G
Edge Router with Broad Band Remote Access Server
Application
FTTC networks set up and maintained by Local Cable Operators
Small Office/Home Office Ethernet Switch
Networking of Enterprise Network and Campus Network
As shown by the diagram, the traffic from various service providers and their customers
carrying various services(voice, video and data) is aggregated by Tier-2 switches (like
Xtera 500 and Xtera 1000). The uplinks of Tier-2switches is in turn consolidated by
Tier-1 switches and fed to BRAS. In DSL deployments, Tier-1 switches collect traffic from
DSLAMs rather than Tier-2 switches. In both cases the Edgile-4G provides the subscriber
sensitivity and service sensitivity. Edgile-4G is the point where Quality of Service and Call
Admission Control considerations are implemented. The billing information is collected and
passed to the RADIUS server. The Video on Demand and Video Multicast sources are also
injected at this point. Edgile-4G also serves as the first MPLS-PE node in the network. |
