IP Access Aggregation
Cost Effectively Aggregate IP WAN Traffic at your Hub Site
Aggregating IP traffic from dozens or even hundreds of remote sites can be an expensive proposition if you are using IP routers with DS3, SONET or SDH interface cards. These router cards are very expensive and rob the route processor’s capacity, eating into the performance of the system. In the newest edge routers, these modules consume valuable slot capacity that could otherwise be used for Gigabit Ethernet or 10 Gig connections. Overture Networks can help. The ISG 6000 can offload all of the processing of all of your low-speed IP traffic that comes in over T1, E1, DS3 or E3 circuits. By terminating the WAN encapsulation layer such as PPP/MLPPP, aggregating at Layer 2 and handing the traffic to your edge router as Gigabit Ethernet VLANs, you can simplify your network edge and save more than 50% in equipment costs over a router-based solution. All of this without sacrificing quality and class of service capabilities that you’ve come to expect.
