Defining Intelligent Demarcation
EtherNID and MetroNID demarcation units define the boundaries of your network, enabling end-to-end
service provisioning and assurance with carrier-grade performance. The EtherNID and MetroNID units
are built on a patent-pending architecture, a unique hardware-based design that provides advanced
performance testing and service creation capabilities in a compact, cost efficient, carrier-grade in-line
element. Unlike store-and-forward architectures, these units' proprietary silicon design provides wire-
speed pass-through performance without adding jitter or delay, while at the same time providing
microsecond measurement resolution and real-time processing for every packet flowing through the
unit.With transparent fail-over, NEBS Level 3 certification, no fans or moving parts, and 3-way redundant
power, EtherNID and MetroNID units are truly carrier-grade. A variety of mounting options mean flexible
installation at customer premises, cell sites, central offices and aggregation nodes

Service Assurance Functionality
Performance Assurance Agent™ (PAA) and SLA Monitoring
High-precision, hardware assisted, latency + jitter-free demarcation, monitoring and measurement of
latency, jitter, frame loss and continuity, including 1-way performance validation with microsecond
resolution.Multi-flow, multi-service, multi-site performance assurance enables real-time SLA assurance
over any network. Supports point-to-point, multipoint & mesh topologies, unicast& multicast testing.
In-Service Throughput Testing
Verify the throughput of EVCs in-service, without affecting customer traffic. EtherNID™ & MetroNID™
units generate & analyze traffic flows up to full wire-speed at both layer 2 & 3.
RFC-2544 Automated Test Suite & Reports
Advanced tool based on the RFC-2544 standard that can be used to measure and diagnose throughput,
delay, jitter (delay variation), frame loss, and back to back efficiency.
Intelligent Loopbacks
In-service layer 1-2-3-4 loopbacksper-flow, defined by VLAN, Service-Level, MAC / IP addresses or any
combination of layer 2-4 header criteria. Units respond to in-band loop-up commands from most third-
party Ethernet test sets and monitoring systems, as well as via Y.1731 standards.
Per-Flow Statistics
Real-time statistics of live traffic at layer 1-2-3-4 (per VLAN, Ethertype, ToS, CoS, MAC, IP, etc.).
Tapping and Monitoring
Single or dual monitor ports providing filtered, real-time access to unidirectional or bidirectional traffic.

Service Creation and Traffic Conditioning
Service Mapping
Create E-Line, E-LAN & E-Tree services directly at the demarc point -service mapping applies C/V-LAN
tags (selective push) and/or configurable service class to traffic meeting detailed layer 2,3 & 4 criteria.
Bandwidth Policing
Limit upstream and downstream CIR/EIR by filtering criteria or for all traffic. Facilitates Carrier Ethernet
service provisioning and on-demand/incremental service upgrades.
Zero-Latency Traffic Shaping
Pre-conditioning of traffic to accelerate services and optimize access link bandwidth use. Passes highest-
priority traffic without added delay or jitter while other traffic is buffered until capacity is available.
Wire-speed Filtering
Filter wire-speed traffic at layer 1-2-3-4 (L2CP, BDPU, per VLAN, Ethertype, Protocol type, MAC, IP,
User Defined).
4-to-1 Multi-Port Aggregation
Latency-free, multi-port aggregation from 4 Fast Ethernet ports to a single GbE. De-aggregate by VLAN,
or any combination of Layer 2 -4 frame criteria.
General Functionality
Jumbo Frames Support: All functions supports Jumbo Frames up to 10,240 bytes at all rates
(10/100/1000 Mbps).
3 –Way Redundant Power: Units can be powered using 5VDC, or dual -48V feeds, all mutually
redundant.
SNMP v1 & v2c: Support SNMP v1 and v2c for monitoring, alarms, OSS integration and unit
configuration.
Embedded GPS: Optional feature, can be used as clock reference in place of the patent-pending
synchronization method normally used for 1-way delay & jitter measurements.
