Alcatel-Lucent OM SN Product Famil y 7
When the ubiquity of the optical-
network platforms deployed today
is considered, optical technologies
represent one of the most compelling
opportunities for service providers
to leverage their installed base and
deliver new revenue-generating
services(seeFigure2).
Alcatel-Lucent OMSN products can
be deployed with traditional MSPPs
from the Alcatel-Lucent portfolio
and emerging packet optical
transport devices in the Alcatel-
Lucent1850TransportService
Switch (TSS) portfolio.
ISA-EthernetSwitch(ISA-ES)
modules enable new, highly-available
Layer2Ethernetservicedelivery
in the metro network through their
MPLS-enabledEthernet.
WiththeISA-ESequippedAlcatel-
Lucent OMSN nodes, service providers
can enhance their service offerings
withMetroEthernetForum(MEF)-
certiedEthernetservicesforbusiness
and residential customers.
QoS for Ethernet
AswellasmappingEthernet
customer flows onto SDH network
resources through standardized
mechanisms,theISA-ESseriescards
introduce wire-speed classification,
policing and scheduling capabilities
onacarrier-classEthernetswitching
blade. These capabilities provide
a cost-effective solution for building
multiservice aggregation infrastruc-
tures that are scalable, reliable and
capable of per-service SLA/QoS
support with:
•Scalableservicedeliverybased
on virtual local area network
(VLAN), Q-in-Q or MPLS
technologies, extended by
efficient SDH bandwidth-
management capabilities
•Sub-50msserviceresilience
based on SDH
•Per-owandper-serviceSLA
guarantees offer accurate band-
width profiles according to
different customers’ applications,
to create a measurable, differen-
tiatedEthernetserviceportfolio
and increase service profitability
byensuringQoS-speciedEthernet
service delivery in any network
condition, including faults and
congestion.
TheISA-ESbladesallowservice
providers to deliver more than just

These modules enable service providers
to climb up the value chain and offer
the new revenue-generating services
that both business and residential
users are demanding.
