NetIronR M2404 Metro Access Switch Family Enables Unified MPLS Infrastructure for Superior Service Availability, Sub-50ms Traffic Protection and End-to-End Customer SLA Enforcement

Foundry Networks, Inc. a performance and total
solutions leader for end-to-end switching and routing, has introduced the NetIron M2404 Series MPLS-enabled Metro Access Switches. These new cost effective Metro Ethernet switches are purpose-built for service versatility,scalability, and manageability, all in a compact moveable one rack unit (1RU) form factor.

The NetIron M2404 offers wire-rate forwarding, advance MPLS-based Carrier Ethernet features, and advanced bandwidth management in a cost-effective and compact package. The NetIron M2404 switch family includes both fiber and RJ-45 copper configurations.

The NetIron M2404 allows advanced Service Level Agreement (SLA) enforcement with Hierarchical Quality of Service (QoS),resilient sub-50ms service recovery time and comprehensive Mul

ti-Protocol Label Switching (MPLS) and EFM OAM capabilities. Theses capabilities make the NetIron M2404 the most versatile solution for metro access applications,such as FTTx, ETTx, MTU, Wireless backhaul and multi-play service delivery that are in high demand.

Combining Ethernet's scalability with MPLS functionality for differentiated IP based services is a winning combination for carriers and their customers,forming the basis for next generation wireline networking. Service Level Agreement (SLA) functionality and compliance improve as the MPLS Provider Edge moves closer to the customer.

Multi-Tenant Unit (MTU) devices with these capabilities are a logical choice to provide end-users with business-class services and stringent SLAs. NetIron M2404 Metro Access Switches, together with the NetIron MLX Metro Routers and NetIron XMR Core Routers, are the key components of Foundry's market leading Carrier Ethernet solutions.
