FEATURE BRIEF

Ethernet Data Access via ATM

Purpose Provide Ethernet data access port independent of video

Description The VBrick ATM interface supports full Layer 3 routing function and IP over ATM (RFC-1483/1577). When so configured, the VBrick-6000 sends/receives MPEG-2 video over an ATM network, and also provides full high speed network access via the Ethernet port on the VBrick.

Key Functions Key functions include:

    1. • Full Layer 3 routing
    2. • Static routing
    3. • RIP Version 1
    4. • RIP Version 2 Broadcast
    5. • RIP Version 2 Multicast

Applications Applications include:

    1. • Bring ATM fiber to a classroom for video and use the Ethernet port to provide high speed Internet Access. Eliminate the need for an additional copper wire for Internet or general network access.
    2. • Remote traffic monitoring locations sending MPEG-2 video over ATM, and remote equipment is controlled via VBrick Ethernet port. Eliminate the need for network access equipment, terminal servers, etc.
