ZXCTN 9000-E Carrier Multiservice Platform

—Converge New Services and Network

Overview
The ZXCTN 9000-E supports any-to-any Layer 2 and Layer 3 network and service
interworking reliably and concurrently. It provides service providers a graceful
migration path to a converged network based on IP/MPLS. ZXCTN 9000-3E

The ZXCTN 9000-E enables connection-oriented characteristics OAM, perfect

protection mechanisms and powerful management, while maintaining the
superior statistical multiplexing and flexible deployment of pure IP networks.

ZXCTN 9000-E mainly locates at aggregation/core layer. Facing the complicated

and uncertain service network bearing demands, it integrates the advantages of
packet and transmission technologies. Adopting the system architecture with
packet switching as kernel, it integrates various IP/MPLS services and ZXCTN 9000-5E
standardized services. Integrating adaptive interfaces, synchronous clock, carrier-
class OAM and protection for multi-service, it implements Ethernet, and TDM
carrier-class service processing and transmission.
