However, as they successfully create and market data-intensive services such as streaming multimedia, many mobile operators find themselves seeking more cost-effective means of backhauling the increasing amounts of data traffic they generate. Pseudowires provide some answers.


Brought to you by TellabsAs its name implies, pseudowires establish "virtual wires" to carry different Layer 1 and Layer 2 protocols such as T-1/E-1, Frame Relay and ATM along the same MPLS-enabled transmission path. This design is useful for mobile operators, particularly those that manage multiple legacy networks. Wireline service providers are also leveraging Ethernet pseudowires to provide business Ethernet services and to migrate ATM/Frame Relay services off of platforms that are coming to their end of life.
