Telefónica Tests Equipe's E3200 MPLS Convergence Switch

Telefónica completed testing of Equipe Communications' E3200 MPLS Convergence Switch at its R&D labs in Madrid. Telefónica's test bed consisted of two Equipe 3200 switches and two Juniper Networks M-Series routers. Telefonica I+D evaluated the E3200 in a number of key applications: 1) interworking of ATM traffic over a Juniper MPLS network, 2) label switching as an MPLS LSR, 3) delivery of both ATM and MPLS on the same physical port ("Ships-in-the-Night"), and 4) native ATM switching. Equipe said that even under severe congestion, its E3200 switch was able to preserve traffic contracts for constant bit-rate (CBR) ATM services over MPLS.
