Extreme Networks Data Sheet BlackDiamond 20800 Series The BlackDiamond® 20800 Ethernet Transport switches enable carriers to meet the explosive traffic demand driven by residential, business and mobile backhaul Ethernet services. Benefits Get Ahead of Your Customers’ Ever-Growing Bandwidth Demands • High system capacity with industry-leading 10 GbE port density • System architecture designed for future 100 GbE upgrades • Long service life with future fabric upgrade to 5 Tbps • Tunable Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexing (DWDM) to help reduce fiber run counts Increase Revenue with Scalable Switch Resources • Hardware-based Hierarchical QoS (H-QoS) scales to hundreds of thousands of subscribers and applications • Multicast scaling to tens of thousands of streams with dedicated multicast priority queues • vMAN service multiplexing and cross connect for efficient network-to-network interfaces Drive Profitability with Simplified Deployment and Operations • Layer 2 scaling options avoid the complexity and expense of Layer 3 MPLS in the metro • Single operating system for the entire Ethernet Transport network reduces OPEX Extreme Networks BlackDiamond 20800 series Ethernet Transport switches provide a more affordable, easier to operate, and flexible Next Generation Network. The Carrier Ethernet market is growing tremendously, fueled by the growing acceptance of Ethernet as the answer to the industry’s bandwidth scalability issues. The disparity between carriers’ revenue streams and the amount of bandwidth consumed by each new service is causing carriers to seek more cost-effective options to reduce OPEX and CAPEX. Designed from the ground up for this new carrier reality, the Extreme Networks® BlackDiamond 20800 series switches allow carriers to compete effectively while satisfying their customers’ needs and expectations. BlackDiamond 20800 series switches enable a single Carrier Ethernet Transport network to deliver residential, business and mobile backhaul Ethernet services. Residential services include triple-play services, IPTV, tiered Internet access, and more. Business services include standard E-Line and E-LAN to connect multiple sites, plus tiered Internet access and VoIP with hierarchical bandwidth controls to individual businesses. Mobile backhaul services deliver the bandwidth needed for multimedia devices running on 3G wireless networks. Target Applications • Aggregating residential triple-play, business Ethernet and mobile backhaul services on a common platform • Prioritized VPN, Internet access, Voice-over-IP (VoIP) and other applications over E-Line or multi-point E-LAN connections to business subscribers • High-bandwidth mobile backhaul with the scale to support bandwidth and roaming for thousands of simultaneous customer connections

Extreme Networks Data Sheet Target Applications Application 1: Mixed Business, Residential and Wireless Backhaul Service in Suburban or Rural Geographies The following configuration highlights the typical deployment in suburban or rural geographies where fewer subscribers are aggregated at each node. In this application multiple 1 GbE or 10 GbE rings are used to cover large areas. There are typically fewer ports facing the customer edge, and only moderate bandwidth demands at the provider edge.
