Integrated packet transport (IPT)

Leveraging the feature-rich 1830 PSS and the power of SR-OS for fully managed end-to-end Layer 2 transport

Overview

Reduce total cost of ownership, differentiate your services, and maximize return on investment with Integrated Packet Transport, now offered on our scalable 1830 Photonic Service Switch.

To meet demand for superior Ethernet-based cloud, mobile, and video services, you need a packet-optimized metro DWDM core that provides efficient and versatile traffic aggregation.

Our Integrated Packet Transport solution keeps you ahead of the demand curve. It delivers the capacity, flexibility, and packet feature richness you need to handle unrelenting traffic growth.

More efficient, versatile, and reliable Layer 2 transport

Our solution gives you comprehensive and optimized packet transport. It lets you leverage the power and value of our Service Router Operating System (SR OS) and multiservice 1830 Photonic Service Switch WDM transport platforms.

We make it easy to integrate the solution into a fully managed end-to-end Layer 2 transport architecture. The solution uses a common service, operation, and management model from core to aggregation and to the customer edge.

The solution is based on scalable packet-optimized WDM. With it, you can evolve to a converged metro aggregation network that cost effectively delivers multiple services.
