Ethernet

The HSX 6000 supports Ethernet services over Gigabit Ethernet interfaces as well as over SONET interface (EoS). VCs are configured based on IEEE.802 IQ VLAN or SVLAN tags or can be port-based such that the VC includes all traffic on an Ethernet interface, regardless of 802.1Q tagging. Each VC is set up using the following parameters:

Service category: rt-VBR, nrt-VFR, or UBR

Maximum packet size

Be: excess burst size (nrt-VFR only)

Bc: committed burst size (VFR only)

CIR: Committed Information Rate, which is the average information capacity of the VC (VFR only)

Optional VLAN or SVLAN operations such as tag swapping, popping, or pushing
