Hardware Overview

SSR-HSSI-02-CK

The HSSI interface extends the benefits of the X-Pedition router to the WAN, providing application-level control and wire-speed across high-speed WAN connections. The HSSI interface supports PPP and Frame Relay at speeds up to 52 Mbps. Typical applications include T3/E3 circuits or inverse multiplexed T1 connections. Flow Rate Limiting, Weighted Random Early Discard and Weighted Fair Queuing work together to manage and prevent congestion. The SSR- HSSI-02-CK also provides external clocking—you do not need an external CSU/DSU.

The HSSI module for the X-Pedition supports true Layer 2, 3 and 4 switching, allowing for consistent policy management for security and quality of service. Detailed accounting information can be gathered using per-PVC RMON, enabling easy confirmation that service-level agreements are being met. Prioritization policies can be extended across the entire network to allocate appropriate resources to groups of users, or specific applications.
