 Overview |
|
Corecess 5524 is a powerful Metro Ethernet Switch for Triple Play Services that can create intelligent and advanced IP services at the metro area network edge as well as at the access networks. Corecess 5524 product integrates the functions of legacy edge router and IP service switch into a single platform.
From the services point of view, Corecess 5524 can provide secure access and advanced quality of service (QoS) features for enabling the delivery of "Triple Play" Services , which is a new term that has been coined from the often used term "Multimedia Services". This feature is aimed at providing priority traffic including dedicated bandwidth, controlled jitter and latency (required by some real-time and interactive traffic) in addition, improved loss characteristic. It also makes sure that providing priority for one or more flows does not make other flows fail.
By incorporating these highly integrated and well-equipped service features into the Corecess 5524 product, it has been possible to make this product highly fault tolerant and its flexible architecture has made Corecess 5524 extremely robust so as to integrate well into traditional SONET, ATM, and POS networks.
Corecess 5524 is part of the Corecess 5000 family, which has 12.8 Gbps of Switching Throughput, wire speed forwarding capability, and fine tuned traffic control features. Corecess 5524 is delivered in a four slot modular type (one for uplink and three for downlink) and can provide up to 24, 100Mbps ports and 2 Gbps ports when fully equipped.
Functionally, Corecess 5524 is suitable for applications which demand any or a combination of the following -Layer 2 aggregation, IP routing, Layer 3 forwarding, rate-limiting, traffic engineering, and QoS marking and classification. Corecess 5524 can be used for the following applications.
• Metro Ethernet service aggregation in a relatively large customer site.
• Metro Ethernet aggregation in a small and medium sized Central Office (CO).
• Inter working of Ethernet, ATM and EoS on a single platform.
Corecess 5524 provides various functionalities for next generation IP services. It finds its application in both edge and access nodes depending on the nature of applications and network architecture. Corecess 5524 is highly useful, especially for metro Ethernet service providers. There are several types of subscriber cards including 100Mbps-FX, Single Fiber. In addition to this, since service providers have the option to increase subscriber base by units of 8, initial CapEx is very low. Considering stability and redundancy, Corecess 5524 is designed to support two power units and FANs. The redundant power supply unit and FAN are replaced on the fly.
For metro Ethernet applications, Corecess 5524 can be promoted as a solution to the Corecess 9500 series (gigabit aggregation switch) and the Corecess 5600 Layer 3 switch to provide a comprehensive solution governing the region from the edge to the customer premise

| Key
Features & Benefits |
|
Powerful Performance,
Redundancy and Fault Backup
|
 |
Hardware based packet processing
meets the performance criteria in order to generate
wire-speed traffic flows. |
|
Supports hot swappable physical
board modules. |
|
Supports quick fail over recovery
not only physical redundancy (Network link and
Power redundancy) but network resiliency through
past spanning-tree convergence (RSTP) as well. |
|
Supports power supply unit and FAN redundancy
- In a Hot standby mode of operation. |
|
Both, power supply unit and FAN
can be replaced on the fly. |
Advanced Quality
of Service for "Triple Play" service support
|
|
Extensive IP QoS marking and processing
through deep packet classification on each port
supporting each port on a per packet basis. |
|
The user can configure Corecess
5524 to optimally handle different types of traffic:
voice, video or high priority data traffic. |
|
802.1p class of service (CoS) and Differentiated
Services Code Point field (DSCP) classification
via marking and reclassification on a per packet
basis using source/destination IP address, source/destination
MAC address, or Layer 4 based TCP/UDP port number. |
|
Quality of service ACLs on all ports ensure
proper marking on a per packet basis. |
|
Weighted Random Early Detection (WRED) for avoidance
of congestion at the egress queues before disruption
occurs. WRED provides separate thresholds and
weights for different IP precedence, enabling
different qualities of service for different traffic. |
|
Strict priority queuing to guarantee that the
highest priority packets will always get serviced
ahead of all other traffic. |
|
No performance penalty for highly granular quality
of service functionality. |
|
Internet Group Management Protocol (IGMP) snooping
provides for fast client joins and leaves of multicast
streams and limits bandwidth intensive video traffic
to only the requestors. |
Legacy network
interworking
|
|
With single Corecess
5524, interworking with traditional SONET/SDH*
or ATM/PoS is possible. |
Granular Rate
Limiting and Traffic Shaping
|
|
Corecess 5524 guarantees incremental
bandwidth as low as 64 Kbps. |
|
Rate limiting is based on source/destination
IP address, source/destination MAC address, or
Layer 4 TCP/UDP information or a combination of
these fields. |
|
Ability to easily manage data flows
asynchronously upstream and downstream from the
end station or on the uplink via ingress and egress
policing. |
Powerful Security
|
|
ACLs on all
VLANs to prevent unauthorized data flows to
be bridged within VLANs. |
|
MAC based port
level security prevents unauthorized stations
from accessing the switch. |
|
DHCP filtering
also provide added security preventing unauthorized
stations from accessing the switch. |
|
Multilevel security on
console access prevents unauthorized users from
altering the switch configuration. |
|
RADIUS authentication
enables centralized control of the switch and
restricts unauthorized users from altering the
switch configuration. |
IP Service
Creation Platform
|
|
Provide guaranteed
bandwidth service using rate limiting. |
|
Several kinds
of Access Control Lists (ACLs) make for a reliable
network. |
|
IP service
creation through Dynamic Host Configuration
Protocol (DHCP) server. |
|
Corecess 5524 routing architecture
performed on the hardware to deliver extremely
high performance IP routing feature. |
|
Support for
all commonly deployed industry standard IP unicast
routing protocols (RIPv1, RIPv2, OSPF, BGP-4,
VRRP, IS-IS) for load balancing and constructing
scalable LANs to avoid any imbalance at the
LANs. |
|
Static IP routing for manually
building a routing table consisting of network
path information. |
|
Inter-VLAN IP routing for
full Layer 3 routing between two or more VLANs. |
|
Protocol Independent Multicast
(PIM) for IP multicast routing within a network
that enables the network to receive the multicast
feed requested and for switches not participating
in the multicast to be pruned. Support for PIM
sparse mode (PIM-SM) and dense mode(PIM-DM). |
Scalability
|
|
Multiple Corecess
5000 systems are manageable using single IP
address by configured daisy chain. |
|
Corecess 5000
systems are configured with daisy chain using
Gigabit Interface Converter (GBIC) and deliver
a hardware based stacking structure without
the stacking bus. |
|
The service
provider can increase subscriber base by units
of 8. |
Powerful Manageability
|
|
Built in Web
based Management Software provides an easy to
use Web based management interface through a
standard web browser. (Web Console) |
|
Simple Network
Management Protocol (SNMP) v1 and v2c, and Telnet
interface support delivers comprehensive in-band
management and a command-line interface (CLI)-based
management console provides detailed out-of-band
management. |
|
CLI provides
easy to use user interface and command set for
monitoring and management of all elements in
the network. |

VLANs. |
|
IGMP snooping provides
for fast client joins and leaves of multicast
streams and limits bandwidth intensive video
traffic to only the requestors. |

10BaseT/100BaseTX indication, as well as switch
level status LEDs for system, redundant power
supplies provide a comprehensive and convenient
visual management system so as to effectively
manage all processes. |
Easy Deployment
|
|
Auto-sensing
on each non-GBIC port detects the speed of the
attached device and automatically configures
the port for 10 or 100 Mbps operation, easing
the deployment of the switch in mixed 10, 100BaseT
environments/interfaces. |
|
Auto-negotiating
on all ports automatically selects half or full
duplex transmission mode to optimize bandwidth. |
