Nortel Business Policy Switch 2000

Nortel Business Policy Switch 2000 ... 10/100 Mbps Ethernet Layer 2 switch that delivers Layer 2/3/4 packet classification and prioritization to the desktop. The Business Policy Switch is a robust and highly reliable LAN solution, with advanced Quality of Service IP capabilities and Web-based management features. With the Business Policy Switch, enterprises and carriers are able to confidently and reliably deploy and support mission-critical, resource-intensive or delay-intolerant network communication solutions that can include Voice over IP, multimedia and e-Business applications for full bandwidth utilization and assured network access at the premise.

By classifying, prioritizing, policing and marking LAN traffic, networks can offer reliable connectivity and required bandwidth for mission-critical applications like Voice over IP to specific groups and users, and to individual devices.

For each of these applications, advanced QoS features support IETF standard DiffServ QoS architecture, packet classification based on the contents of packet header fields (voice, video, data), traffic policing, and remote sniffing. As a result, optimal network performance and reliability may be attained while realizing significant cost savings. Customized service type and flow-based administrations through traffic shaping and policing may also be established, providing an opportunity for customer-specific service offerings, which can be implemented to address-specific and unique customer requirements.
