Extreme Networks to Demonstrate DRramatic Carrier Ethernet Network Utilization Improvements

Extreme Networks today announced a live demonstration of the network utilization improvements offered with a new PBT to MPLS inter-working capability at the NXTcomm08 tradeshow in Las Vegas, NV, June 17-19, 2008. In addition to the service inter-working capabilities of the BlackDiamond® 12K, the demo showcases automated service creation using Soapstone’s PNC control plane and highlights the fast failover capabilities of the PBT solution. “This demonstration is another proof point of Extreme Networks commitment to carrier Ethernet and PBT solutions,” said Peter Lunk, director of service provider marketing for Extreme Networks. “PBT plays an important role for network operators looking to differentiate their carrier Ethernet service offerings, and the PBT to MPLS service inter-working allows them far better utilization of their existing core network.”
