Brocade NetIron XMR Series

The Brocade NetIron XMR Series of Internet backbone routers provides unparalleled performance (up to 2 billion PPS) in a multi-terabit architecture. These routers offer highly scalable IPv4/IPv6 routing, fast BGP convergence, and advanced MPLS capabilities such as MPLS VPNs. They provide industry-leading wire-speed 10 GbE and POS port density, and are ideal for Internet backbones and service provider cores.

Abstract:

Provides a high-level overview of the 10 Gigabit Ethernet WAN PHY defined in the IEEE 802.3ah standard; also explains how the 10GE WAN PHY interacts with SONET OC-192 networks and highlights its differences and advantages when compared to OC-192c POS and 10GE LAN PHY.

Abstract:

In order to truly align the enterprise infrastructure strategy with business requirements, organizations must be free to choose the solutions that best meet their unique needs and based upon open standards, not proprietary, closed systems.
