MILPITAS, Calif., Dec. 14, 2010 /PRNewswire/ -- LSI Corporation
(NYSE: LSI) today announced that its Link Layer Processor (LLP) and
Advanced PayloadPlus® (APP) processors have achieved compliance
with three Metro Ethernet Forum (MEF) specifications. The LSI™
products are integrated into the Telrad TAG-11 gateway, which
recently underwent testing by Iometrix, the networking industry's
preeminent testing authority, to earn MEF certification in the MEF
9, 14 and 18 specifications.
LSI has the distinction of being among a select number of
semiconductor companies that can claim MEF certification in
multiple MEF specifications. Achieving these certifications is
important to network equipment manufacturers like Telrad because it
validates the functionality and reliability of components which are
critical in achieving overall performance levels for their
products.
Launched in April 2005, the MEF
Certification Program accelerates the worldwide adoption of Carrier
Ethernet by verifying compliance of vendor equipment manufacturers'
and service providers' products through a series of
industry-standard tests.
"We are committed to delivering solutions that will give our
direct customers and service providers assurance of
interoperability in a real network with other equipment that has
T1/E1 over Ethernet interfaces," said Shane
Gunning, multiservice marketing director, Networking
Components Division, LSI. "Certification of the LSI Link Layer
Processor and Advanced PayloadPlus family of processors provides
another level of assurance that our products can deliver the
performance to power today's sophisticated and demanding
networks."
"The LSI components played a vital role in achieving MEF
certification for our TAG-11," said Shai
Yanai, executive vice president for Product Solutions,
Telrad. "This industry recognition is a mark of distinction that
adds value and sets the TAG-11 apart from our competitors."
The Telrad carrier-grade TAG-11 Pseudowire Emulation (PWE)
Gateway, powered by the LSI pseudowire emulation solution, enables
T1/E1 Circuit Emulation Service (CES), Asynchronous Transfer Mode
(ATM) emulation and Ethernet emulation (ETHoP), providing Time
Division Multiplexing (TDM) data transport over Packet-Switched
Networks (PSN) for wireless and wireline backhaul, business
services and SmartGrid applications.
The LSI PWE solution allows customers to use their current
native service, such as TDM, Frame Relay, ATM or Ethernet over a
packet-switched network (MPLS or IP) and deliver them over Ethernet
networks. The LSI LLP and APP are both processor-based, which means
any changes or upgrades in the pseudowire standards can be easily
implemented, making these solutions among the most flexible on the
market.
The LSI LLP is a highly integrated solution for applications
such as wireline access networks and wireless access applications.
The LSI APP family of communications processors offers fully
integrated, single-chip solutions with wirespeed data path,
security, traffic management, application and control processing
functions. To learn more about the LSI LLP and APP products, visit
