Cisco Multiservice over SONET/SDH Product Migration and Strategy

Overview This paper reviews the current Ethernet product offerings for the Cisco ONS 15454 multi-service provisioning platforms (MSPPs) and then discusses how they can be applied to deliver scalable, high-speed, reliable data services today. Three real-world service applications (EPL, VPN service, and Internet access) are defined to help reiterate the features, benefits, functions, and applications of the Cisco ONS 15454 Ethernet product portfolio. Cisco's MSOS product migration plan is outlined through the course of this paper, showing how the service provider network infrastructure can be evolved and continuously streamlined as Cisco continues to innovate within the metropolitan (metro) optical Ethernet space.
