Abstract: An Ethernet Metropolitan Area Network provides connectivity to one or more customer premises to packet-bases services, such as ATM, Frame Relay, or IP while advantageously providing a mechanism for assuring security and regulation of customer traffic. Upon receipt of each customer-generated information frame, an ingress Multi-Service Platform (MSP) “tags” the frame with a customer descriptor that specifically identifies the recipient customer. In practice, the MSP tags each frame by overwriting the Virtual Local Area Network (VLAN) identifier with the routing descriptor. Using the customer descriptor in each frame, a recipient Provider Edge Router (PER) or ATM switch can map the information as appropriate to direct the information to the specific customer. In addition, the customer descriptor may also include Quality of Service (QoS) allowing the recipient Provider Edge Router (PER) or ATM switch to vary the QoS level accordingly.
Abstract translation: 以太网城域网提供与一个或多个客户驻地的连接,以提供诸如ATM,帧中继或IP的分组基服务,同时有利地提供用于确保客户流量的安全性和调节的机制。 在接收到每个客户生成的信息框架时,入口多业务平台(MSP)“使用具体标识接收方客户的客户描述符标记该框架。 实际上,MSP通过用路由描述符覆盖虚拟局域网(VLAN)标识符来标记每个帧。 在每个帧中使用客户描述符,收件人提供商边缘路由器(PER)或ATM交换机可以将信息映射到适当的位置,以将信息指向特定客户。 此外,客户描述符还可以包括允许接收方提供商边缘路由器(PER)或ATM交换机相应地改变QoS级别的服务质量(QoS)。

Abstract: A new type of data transport service which uses a frame relay layer 2 data link connection identifier (DLCI) to select among various service types, feature sets, and/or closed user groups (CUGs). A layer 3 address may be extracted from a layer 2 frame, and the layer 3 address information may be used to route a data packet over a packet-switched network according to the service classes, feature sets, and/or CUGs selected. At the destination, the layer 3 data packet may again be enclosed in a layer 2 frame with a DLCI indicating the service classes, features sets, and/or CUGs. Because the use of conventional permanent virtual circuits (PVCs) is not required in aspects of the invention, new methods of measuring and managing network traffic are presented.

Abstract translation: 一种新型的数据传输服务,其使用帧中继层2数据链路连接标识符(DLCI)来在各种服务类型,特征集和/或封闭用户组(CUG)之间进行选择。 层3地址可以从第2层提取,并且层3地址信息可以用于根据所选择的服务类别,特征集和/或CUG在分组交换网络上路由数据分组。 在目的地,层3数据分组可以再次被封装在具有指示服务类别,特征集合和/或CUG的DLCI的层2帧中。 因为在本发明的方面不需要使用传统的永久虚拟电路(PVC),所以提出了测量和管理网络流量的新方法。
