AFORE Solutions has launched its InterPort licensable software solution supporting Provider Backbone Bridges (PBB) and Provider Backbone Bridge Traffic Engineering (PBB-TE).
The solution contains a suite of software modules which include a PBB/PBB-TE control module, enhanced service OAM module for PBB/PBB-TE and enhanced Ethernet-APS module for PBB-TE protection switching.
This combination offers a standard compliant (IEEE 802.1ah, 802.1Qay) solution for carrier Ethernet, mobile backhaul, broadband access and aggregation, data center interconnect and other applications which leverage Ethernet as a transport technology.
AFORE CEO Alex Berlin said the addition of the PBB/PBB-TE module to the InterPort suite of software enables customers to further differentiate their solutions and extend the reach of carrier class Ethernet into a range of access solutions and gateways.
