EtherNID OE
Ethernet Services Demarcation Point
Key features
The growing demand for Ethernet Services is exploding
everywhere.
Carrierscontendinginthiscompetitivemarketspacearefacedwithseveral
challenges:
• Setting a clear Demarcation Point between the Customers' and
the Carriers' Ethernet Network
• Implementing Operations, Administration and Maintenance
(OAM), to reduce OPEX and minimize truck-roll
• Assuring End-to-End Service Level Agreement (SLA) parameters
• Offering Carrier-Grade Reliability
All of this while avoiding any impact on network performance and
keepingCAPEXataminimum
The Accedian EtherNID™ OE Ethernet Demarcation Device (EDD) offers the solution to these
challenges by implementing standards-based OAM and loop-back capabilities. Providing a Per-
formance Assurance Agent™ (PAA™) allows measuring and tracking End-to-End SLA parameters

to define a clear network boundary at the customer premises of single or multi-tenant commer-
cial environments. Using the SFP form factor connector, it allows using a wide variety of optical
transceivers for different wavelengths and reaches as well as allowing the use of bi-directional fiber
modulestoreducefibercount.
Furthermore, the EtherNID™ OE's high-performance Fast-Thru™ engine minimizes intrinsic
packet-jitter and latency of the device, thus allowing the deployment of multiple units along an
End-to-End Ethernet Service Path without introducing any significant latency or jitter to the ser-
viceitself.
The EtherNID™ OE also includes Dual Monitor Ports where external test devices can be con-
nectedtoperformnonintrusive, in-servicetroubleshooting, thusofferingLayer1to4visibilityin

demarcation devices but lacking from current Ethernet service delivery methods. Furthermore,

Per-Flow statistics, thus providing detailed utilization metrics of the thru-traffic (e.g. per VLAN,
perEVC, perToS, perCoS, perEthertype, perMAC, perIP, etc.).
The EtherNID™ OE interacts seamlessly with Ethernet OAM compliant devices, supports SNMP,
