Optical Ethernet / Layer 2 (OE/L2) on OPTera Packet Edge System

OPTera Packet Edge System provides configurable packet tunneling modes: transparent LAN service Layer 2 (TLS/L2) and Optical Ethernet Layer 2 (OE/L2). The OE/L2 mode provides optimized traffic service through point-to-point and point-to-multipoint tunnels. You can configure your network from TLS/L2 to OE/L2 or from OE/L2 to TLS/L2 without impacting traffic.
