• Buying Criteria
  • Architecture/Performance/Capacity
    • Capacity/port density describes the ability of the system to handle sufficient subscriber connections as well as switching capacity for all protocols.
  • Footprint/Port Density
    • Footprint/port density is the number of physical and logical connections supported in a single chassis or a complete system.
  • Protocol Support
    • The type of protocol services a system supports directly impact the ability to support legacy applications such as TDM and Frame Relay as well as next-generation MPLS-based services.
  • Robustness
    • Robust design is the ability of a platform to perform despite component or link failures.
