Salira Outlines its Architecture for Ethernet Passive Optical Networks Salira Optical Network Systems, a start-up based in Santa Clara, California, outlined its architecture for Ethernet Passive Optical Networks (EPONs) featuring Service Level Agreement (SLA) management, real time Dynamic Bandwidth Allocation (DBA) and remote service creation and subscriber management. The Salira Architecture will support clear channel T1/E1 network access in addition to IP-centric network access at Fast Ethernet speed. The architecture will accommodate any combination of ATM, Frame Relay or TDM voice, each in their native protocol. Salira will also leverage a service abstraction layer in its architecture to support the delivery of premium classes of service, IP VPNs, transparent LANs and MPLS. Further product details on EPON platform will be disclosed at a later date. http://www.salira.com/news/releases/020206.html 06-Feb-02 In August 2001, Salira Optical Network Systems raised $17 million in Series B funding for its development of IP/Ethernet broadband access systems.
