The MPC480 can operate in many roles; as a high-performance IP router, as a Provider Edge router in IP/MPLS networks for layer2 and layer3 VPN services, and as a Service Router/BNG. The small form factor and flexible licensing structure allows a distributed Service Router architecture to support the increasing demand for Over the Top (OTT) services in modern broadband networks and to enable network operators to make bet-ter designs and reach better scalability by pushing intelligence further out into the network.

The MPC480 is designed for Ethernet-based infrastructure in order to deliver the best cost efficiency and sca-lability to edge routing and Ethernet aggregation. Enhanced troubleshooting capabilities make network opera-tions easier and improves the user experience with increased customer satisfaction and lower churn.

Lower CAPEX

MPC480 is built for cost efficient Ethernet technology. Ethernet and IP is the foundation for all new networks and avoiding legacy technology means a better archi-tecture and less complexity to reduce the overall cost. The MPC480 is built with network convergence in mind, using a flexible network processor with software defined features for service delivery.

The MPC480 is a stepping stone towards network function virtualization (NFV). Cost efficient hardware allows generic deployment and enables you to build the network more efficiently and makes the network more scala-ble. Software enabled network functions for service delivery are licensed when, and where, you need to deliv-er services, thereby providing a pay-as-you-grow model. Your investments match your revenue gain which also reduces business risk. In comparison with other available solutions in the Edge Router segment on the market, the MPC480 has an entry price lower than the competition even as the service delivery scales up.

World class featuresOperating a network is a challenge and requires technical skill. The MPC480 operating system, iBOS, uses an industry standard CLI to allow networkengineers and other technical staff to quickly adapt to working with the platform and quickly leveraging current skills and knowledge. In addition, the iBOS operating system offers additional tools to facilitate network ope-rations, such as the RPM quality measurement tool for multicast TV and remote mirroring capabilities to sup-port legal intercept or advanced troubleshooting.

Using the RPM feature, the MPC480 can monitor the quality of multicast TV in the network and provides realti-me information about the customer experience. This enables network engineers to proactively monitor service quality and to quickly pinpoint any issues in the network. Faster troubleshooting and resolution benefits the customer. Please refer to figure 1 below.

In addition to the CLI, iBOS also includes the ScriBOS™ script language (based on Python). Using ScriBOS, the platform can be adapted to many operational environments and interacts with OSS systems in ways no other router on the market can. With NetConf on the near-term roadmap, the MPC480 provides world-class features to integrate, automate, operate and support network troubleshooting.

Versatile deploymentThe feature sets of iBOS and the MPC480 enable deployment in many roles. The MPC480 can provide busi-ness and residential services, serve as a native IP or IP/MPLS router, or perform Ethernet switching.

In the Provider Edge (PE) role, the MPC480 can enable layer3 VPNs as well as layer2 point-to-point (E-Line) connections across a MPLS backbone. (Please refer to figure 2)

This versatility enables service providers to enter the business service domain in order to meet requirements from multi-branch customers, or to backhaul residential and mobile traffic across the network.

As a Service Router/BNG, the MPC480 can perform rate-limiting and control services for thousands of custo-mers connected by a vast variety of technologies, such as point-to-point Ethernet, GPON, xDSL, Cable-TV networks, wireless solutions and more. (Please refer to figure 3)

Supporting Customer-VLAN topologies and multiple services per customer, the MPC480 is perfect to meet increasing demands for Over the Top services when broadband customers subscribe to even faster services.
