Conclusion

World Wide Packets LightningEdge Ethernet Access Solution Quality of Service (QoS) capabilities have been designed to allow the direct extension of Carrier Class core network QoS functionality—resource and minimum bandwidth guarantees combined with controlled bandwidth bursting—through the access network directly to the subscribers.

World Wide Packets LightningEdge QoS implementation permits network operators to simultaneously deliver any service or combination of services—such as voice, multicast video, video on demand, Internet access, Transparent LAN, and Virtual Private Service (VPS)—to any mix of business and residential customers. When compared to other QoS techniques and implementations, these capabilities enable greater revenue generation by more efficiently utilizing all available network resources, and permit the creation of Service Level Agreements (SLA) that can be reliably achieved and result in improved customer relations.
