Providing a resilient network is a multi-layered process that allows enterprises to support current applications while providing a solid foundation for their future network growth. This white paper examines why you should care about network resiliency, what affects network resiliency, and how a resilient network should be designed. tech news

In recent years, the IP-Virtual Private Network (IP-VPN) has emerged as one of the most robust and high-growth technology categories in the enterprise market space. IP-VPNs are cost-effective, secure, and provide flexible solutions to a wide range of networking requirements. This white paper provides descriptions of the most important attributes of these networks. Download this white paper to learn how to make better informed IP-VPN choices. tech news

Today, network efficiency and cost management are dominant topics, where a few years ago service providers were focused on achieving network growth and gaining market share. To remain competitive, service providers need an economical network design that leverages existing network investments. This white paper examines the rationale for converging multiple single-service networks to significantly reduce capital and operating expenses, along with scaling and evolving their networks to support new services. tech news

This paper explains the key points of implementing a Frame Relay network, and focuses on the extension of voice from the corporate office over Frame Relay to workers in remote offices. This application is truly bridging the technology gap between the proprietary Private Branch Exchange (PBX) systems present in most of the circuit-switched voice networks today and the next-generation packet-switched data networks. tech news

In this paper, the focus is on the use of Martini tunneling to support both Frame Relay and Ethernet services in metropolitan networks. Part I of the paper discusses the state of Frame Relay deployments worldwide. Part II explains how Ethernet and MPLS have become part of the metro landscape. Part III details how MPLS can be used to carry both Frame Relay and Ethernet traffic over a combined Ethernet/MPLS infrastructure. Part IV provides detail on L2 MPLS VPN technology, while Part V provides a practical guide to deploying a multi-service MPLS metro network. tech news
