FrameSaver DSL Features and Benefits
Large-scale deployment of frame relay services over DSL-based access
networks is possible with the innovative FrameSaver DSL, which provides
important advantages for frame relay service providers.
H Remote diagnostic and service level management (SLM) functionality allows
service providers to install the unit and verify operation quickly and reliably.
H Superior fault isolation and test capabilities allow both the Competitive Local
Exchange Carrier (CLEC) and the Frame Relay Network Service Provider
(FR NSP) to resolve problems quickly and efficiently.
H End-to-end service level reporting capabilities make this the ideal platform to
support managed frame relay services with service level guarantees.
H Reduces operations cost by allowing Network Operations Center (NOC)
center personnel to remotely troubleshoot and diagnose problems.
H Optional SLV key turns on historical reporting of service level metrics,
allowing this device to be deployed as part of a fully managed service with
SLA reporting.
H High-speed and lower access cost of DSL functionality provides service
providers critical capabilities necessary to target markets currently served by
dial or VSAT services.
H Use of ATM as a transport protocol ensures the required quality of service for
each application across the access network.
