| Customized Switched Metro Ethernet (CSME) | |||||||||
| Customized Switched Metro Ethernet Service (CSME) is a sub-set of the OPT-E-MAN service offerings (available in most locations where OPT-E-MAN is not | |||||||||
| available). CSME is a switched Ethernet service that connects your LANs within the same metropolitan area to create a metropolitan area network (MAN). CSME | |||||||||
| service is available in a wide range of metropolitan areas and provides scalable optical service at speeds of 10 Mbps, 100 Mbps, or 1 Gbps. Unlike OPT-E-MAN, | |||||||||
| CSME does not have MPLS in the core network. | |||||||||
| CSME is a fiber-based, Layer 2 switched Ethernet service that provides a VPN that connects to multiple metropolitan area locations over a public network. | |||||||||
| The network will act as an Ethernet bridge to the connected LANs enabling any-to-any connectivity. | |||||||||
| CSME supports many transport data configurations (point-to-point, point-to-multipoint, multipoint-to-multipoint with the network acting as a broadcast domain). You | |||||||||
| can assign VLANs to segregate your traffic as necessary. CSME uses physical and virtual connections to satisfy your specific business requirements. | |||||||||
| CSME connects into the Ethernet cloud and establishes logical EVCs traversing the network to connect your locations transparently. It uses fiber optics and | |||||||||
| Ethernet to provide you with a VPN. You connect to the network using a router, bridge, or switch. You can connect to locations within a MAN as if they were | |||||||||
| segments on the same LAN. CSME features include: | |||||||||
| · Customer Handoff—10/100BASE-T, 1000BASE-SX, 1000BASE-LX/LH, 1000BASE-ZX (RJ-45 patch panel for the 10/100 Mbps connection or fiber patch panel | |||||||||
| for 1 Gbps Ethernet connection) | |||||||||
| · Network components include a Layer 2/Layer 3 switch in the Core (Cisco 7609) and the Cisco Catalyst 3550s as the Network Terminating Equipment | |||||||||
| · Full-duplex operation (communications are bi-directional) | |||||||||
| To establish the service, AT&T will place a Cisco 7609 in the central office core network and a Cisco 3550 at the customer premises. The Cisco 3550 is AT&T | |||||||||
| network terminating equipment, and it will enable AT&T to push a portion of the core functionality to the network edge for better service management. Customers will | |||||||||
| connect to our network using a router, bridge, or switch, and fiber transport AT&T provides to the customer premises. | |||||||||
