Laurel Networks Adds T1/E1 interfaces to its ST200 Service Edge Router
Laurel Networks introduced T1/E1 interfaces via channelized OC-12 ports for its ST200 Service Edge Router, enabling the IP/MPLS edge platform to scale from 64 Kbps to OC-48. The fractional T1/E1 interfaces can be used to provide bandwidth from DS-0 to T1/E1 in 64 Kbps increments, and can expand beyond a single T1/E1 via multilink bundles (supporting up to 12 links per bundle). The ST200's interfaces support a range of services including Frame Relay, Frame Relay-to-ATM interworking (FRF.8), Internet access, transit, peering and virtual private networks (VPNs). Laurel Networks already offered channelized OC-48/STM-16 SONET/SDH, OC-12/STM-4 SONET/SDH and Gigabit Ethernet interfaces for its ST200 IP/MPLS service edge router.

- Key attributes of the ST200 IP/MPLS service edge router include a distributed architecture for all major routing and forwarding functions, per-customer routing tables, traffic shaping, class-based queuing and differentiated services (IETF DiffServ). An extensive range of hardware-based counters are used to collect the statistics needed by service providers to correlate service delivery with service billing. Each ST200 line card can simultaneously support any protocol (Frame Relay, ATM, POS, PPP or TDM).
