Infrastructure Connectivity, Lan | Asante Technologies 8000 manual

Introduction

Infrastructure Connectivity

The second key element of the architecture is Infrastructure Connectivity. IntraCore specifies standards based, high performance, cost effective technologies for connectivity among devices in the network.

In the LAN –

At the network edge, Layer 2 switched 10/100/1000 Ethernet meets the requirements for high-speed connectivity of desktop computers and scalable, cost effective data transmission for trunks to the network core.

In the network core, Layer 2/3+-switched 10/100/1000 Ethernet meets the requirements for high speed, scalable, cost effective data transmission and support for all multi-service data types. High performance servers can be centrally located for added physical security.

Throughout the LAN, advanced queuing techniques combined with multiple priority levels and support for industry standard 802.1Q and 802.1p enable Quality of Service within the network.

In the MAN/WAN –

Long haul Gigabit Ethernet, ATM, and Packet over SONET meet the requirements for all of the following:

Gscalable, cost effective data transmission

Gsupport for all multi-service data types

Gservice provider inter operability

Network Management, Security, Performance, and Control

IntraCore includes a rich suite of features required for the effective management, security, performance, and control of the network. The following table illustrates the features and standards supported by the IntraCore architecture.
