Demarcation at the edge of the network provides assured, end-to-end
SLAs and standards-based management to deliver carrier-grade Ethernet
and IP services for even the most demanding applications.
Intelligent Demarcation
Accedian Networks’ High Performance Service Assurance™ platform the EtherNID®
and MetroNID® demarcation units, define the boundaries of the network, enabling
MetroNID end-to-end service provisioning and assurance with carrier-grade performance.
The EtherNID and MetroNID units are based on Accedian’s wire-speed Fast-PAAs™
chip, a unique hardware-based engine that provides advanced performance testing
and service creation capabilities in a low delay, carrier-grade, in-line hybrid test and
network element for compact and cost-efficient deployment at the boundaries of
the network.
Unlike store-and-forward architectures, Fast-PAAs’ proprietary silicon design
provides wire-speed pass-through performance without adding delay or delay
variation, while at the same time providing microsecond measurement resolution
and real-time processing for every packet flowing through the unit.
