VoIP - IP Telephony White Papers

Building Packet-Aware Transport Networks

Overview Service providers must find lucrative new services to generate additional revenue while improving the profitability of their existing services. The arrival of more sophisticated multimedia offerings, including VoIP, IPTV, and related services such as video telephony and gaming present enormous opportunities while at the same time created network challenges. To effectively and profitably deliver these new services will require a migration from a multi-layer, multi-technology network architecture towards a converged network using network components that support the operators in a cost efficient and flexible manner. The Lucent Universal Packet Mux (UPM) presents a significant contribution in this direction, through collapsing the transport aspects of Ethernet, VPLS/MPLS, SDH/SONET, WDM/OTN and GMPLS into a scalable and flexible platform.
