The FPGA based hardware delivers superior performance and cost savings over software based solutions. It provides in-service OAM while maintaining line rate data throughput.
The hardware supports Performance Monitoring with five-nines level of accuracy for Frame Delay, Frame Delay Variation & Frame Loss. It correlates Near-End and Far-End events and reports them in a manner similar to TDM style SLA reporting.
MetroHaul provides a simple upgrade path to add OAM functionality to Mobile Backhaul products.
MetroProbe for Ethernet Probe Devices and
MetroQOS for Network Interface Devices (NIDs),
provide high performance low cost platforms.
These solutions are targeted at low cost FPGAs and have been implemented in low end Spartan-6 and Cyclone IV devices.
