The ML 1300 is a high-density, cost effective point-to-multipoint Ethernet in the First Mile (EFM) platform that delivers multiple high performance, symmetrical Ethernet services, aggregating the traffic and services into a high-speed uplink to a backbone transport network. The ML 1300 is interoperable with any standard backbone Ethernet switch or router complementing Metro Ethernet access nodes by expanding a single high-capacity port (e.g., Gig-E and/or 100Base-T) to multiple lower-rate, copper-fed customers. The ML 1300 forms an EFM link with a peer ML 500 on 2 to 8 copper pairs. Based on standard EFM technology (IEEE 802.3ah), the ML 1300 bonds 2 to 8 copper pairs together to create a High Speed Link. Multiple HSL's can be supported per shelf. The transmission layer is additionally powered by MetaLOOP® technology, comprised of Cross Talk Cancellation (CTC) and Cross Talk Management (CTM), which boost transmission rate, reach and reliability far beyond comparable systems, while retaining the standards compliance of G.SHDSL modems. Bandwidth is maximized on each individual copper pair providing redundancy and greater resilience. The ML 1300 supports current and evolving Ethernet Quality of Service (QoS) and Type of Service (ToS) requirements, and has the highest available packet throughput efficiency. It supports 802.1q VLAN-aware bridge functionality, double tagging ("Q-in- Q", VMAN) for end-user VLAN transparency, including four 802.1p priorities and wire-speed nonblocking Layer 2 bridging. Support for 802.3x is included for traffic management. The ML 1300 is graphically managed via the MetaASSIST™ EMS (Element Management System), and by the MetaASSIST View craft application. The system is managed by standard SNMP V2c or command line interface (TL1) protocols. SNMP support includes standard MIBs for seamless integration with widespread network management applications (e.g. HP OpenView). Features and Benefits
