Tellabs Adds 8600 Managed Edge System

Tellabs introduced a managed edge system for North American service providers. The Tellabs 8600 system is an access-oriented edge platform that delivers IP VPN and Ethernet services, while extending MPLS into the access network and even all the way to the customer premise.



The Tellabs 8600 system offers hierarchical MPLS for layer 2 services such as Ethernet and for layer 3 services such as IP VPNs. This hierarchical model is necessary for scalable and efficient MPLS access deployment. Key components of the system include the Tellabs 8620 access switch, a carrier-class, small capacity (3.5 Gbps) router; and the Tellabs 8660 edge switch, a medium capacity (42 Gbps) router. http://www.tellabs.com/
