Abstract
With the increasing use of broadband Internet, it is to be expected that fiber-to-the-home (FTTH) service will expand as the means of providing access. And as communications carriers are moving toward IP-based data networks that include voice telephony, requirements for higher performance, greater functionality and higher reliability will be placed on metro edge routers. To respond to these requirements we have developed the FITELnet-G20 metro edge router, which realizes high functionality in the form of QoS, multicasting and virtual private networks (VPNs) based on multi-protocol label switching (MPLS), of which carriers are in great need, by means of full-wire-rate relaying without degradation of performance.
