Description

The Model 2888 Multi-Megabit Inverse Mux is a managed Ethernet bridge

with two (2 Gigabit Ethernet ports and either two (2 or four (4 T1/E1

ports. The Inverse Mux transports jumbo Ethernet frames over bonded T1/E1

circuits using Multi-link PPP, creating up to an 8 Mbps transparent Ethernet

connection. Complete with Layer 2/3 filtering, Layer 2/3 traffic shaping and

Active Layer 2/3 QoS, the Model 2888 enhances an enterprise’s ability to

address the Wide Area Network (WAN bandwidth requirements of most

Ethernet applications.

Who is it for?

The Model 2888 Multi-Megabit Inverse Mux is designed to bridge the Ethernet/IP bandwidth gap between a single

T1/E1 and a T3/E3. Bandwidth hungry applications such as database/Intranet, VoIP and surveillance video over IP that

need to be transported over the WAN will benefit from a resilient multi-circuit solution.

Position Statement

For enterprise IT Managers needing to bridge the

bandwidth gap between a single T1/E1 and a T3/E3,

the IpLink™ Multi-Megabit Inverse Mux transparently

transports Ethernet over bonded T1/E1 circuits.

Unlike solutions from Cisco and others, which are

difficult to configure, the Multi-Megabit Inverse Mux

makes it easy to transparently pass ALL Ethernet

frames over the WAN while applying ACTIVE Layer

2/3 QoS, traffic shaping and filtering.

Product Brief

Solution Description

As enterprise IT managers leverage the convergence of voice, video and data over Ethernet, the need to transport

Ethernet over the WAN at speeds greater than a single T1/E1 increases. Avoid switching to an expensive T3/E3 circuit,

transitioning to an unproven Ethernet based WAN service or spending endless hours configuring IP routing redundancy.

Use the Model 2888 to bond multiple T1/E1 circuits and increase point-to-point Ethernet bandwidth without

overcomplicating configurations or sacrificing resiliency.

FAQ

Q. If all my traffic

Q. If all my traffic Q. If all my traffic

Q. If all my traffic is IP why should I use Ethernet bridging?

is IP why should I use Ethernet bridging?is IP why should I use Ethernet bridging?

is IP why should I use Ethernet bridging?

A.A.

A. The other alternative, configuring a router for load-balancing can be a difficult task. First of all, a router can load

balance outbound traffic only. To get bidirectional load balancing requires complex configuration at both ends.

Secondly, both routers must be configured to assign the same administrative distance and cost to a destination. Lastly,

load balancing at the IP packet layer creates a situation where packets can reach the destination out of order, creating a

problem for streaming media such as video. By using Ethernet bridging and relying on ML-PPP, the configuration is

simplified and the out of order packet problem eliminated.

Q. What happens if one of my T1/E1 fails, does my entire link go down?

A.A.

A. No, with ML-PPP, if a T1/E1 goes down, the Ethernet traffic will continue to flow across the active links. When the

failed link comes back up, full bandwidth is automatically restored without manual intervention.

to multiplex the T1/E1 circuits?

A.A.

A. No. The Inverse Mux uses Multi-Link PPP (ML-PPP which is 18% more efficient than ATM when using 256 byte

packets. Efficiency increases further with packet sizes of over 1,000 bytes which are typically used by streaming video.

A. Yes. The Inverse Mux can be configured to apply QoS based on VLAN tags as well as tag untagged VLAN traffic. It

can likewise transparently pass VLAN, Cisco ISL and MAC-in-MAC (PBB frames as well as MPLS tagged traffic.
