Riverstone's New Ethernet Services Module Emulates FR, ATM

Riverstone Networks released a new two-port Gigabit Ethernet Advanced Services Module with traffic shaping capabilities that allows carriers to emulate Frame Relay and ATM services, such as guaranteed bandwidth for VoIP and burstable bandwidth for Internet access, extranets, and interoffice connectivity. The new module is designed for Riverstone's RS family of metro routers. The Advanced Services Module also provides scalable support for Riverstone's MPLS implementation. The module ensures that each label switch path in an MPLS network maintains the assigned bandwidth and priority.
