EtherNID EE
Ethernet Services Demarcation Point
Key features
The growing demand for Ethernet Services is exploding
everywhere.
Carriers contending in this competitive market space are faced with sev-
eral challenges:
• Setting a clear Demarcation Point between the Customers' and
the Carriers' Ethernet Network
• Implementing Operations, Administration and Maintenance
(OAM), to reduce OPEX and minimize truck-roll
• Assuring End-to-End Service Level Agreement (SLA) parameters
• Offering Carrier-Grade Reliability
All of this while avoiding any impact on network performance and
keeping CAPEX at a minimum

The Accedian EtherNID™ EE Demarcation Device (EDD) offers the solution to these challenges
by implementing standardsbased OAM and loop-back capabilities.Providing a Performance
Assurance Agent™ (PAA™) allows measuring and tracking End-to-End SLA parameters such as
Latency,Jitter,Packet Loss and Availability in a continuous manner,while the service is running.
Acting as an electrical port extension to basement-located Access Platforms the EtherNID™
EE is the ideal vehicle to define a clear network boundary at the customer premises of multi-
tenant commercial environments.The EtherNID™ is also used at inter-carrier handoff points to
sectionalize E-Lines that span across multiple service providers,thus eliminating finger point-
ing.
Furthermore, the EtherNID™ EE's high-performance Fast-Thru™ engine minimizes intrinsic
packet-jitter and latency of the device, thus allowing the deployment of multiple units along
an End-to-End Ethernet Service Path without introducing any significant latency or jitter to the
service itself.
The EtherNID™ EE's ports can also be configured for Monitoring where external test devices
can be connected to perform non-intrusive,in-service troubleshooting,thus offering Layer 1
to 4 visibility in each direction independently or combined,a function that carriers are used-to
with traditional demarcation devices but lacking from current Ethernet service delivery meth-
ods. Furthermore, intelligent wire-speed filters can be applied to selectively monitor specific
traffic.
Additionally,the EtherNID™ EE can be optionally line-powered using Power over Ethernet (PoE)
and offers a fail-over bypass circuitry (electrical) for added reliability.
The EtherNID™ EE interacts seamlessly with Ethernet OAM compliant devices,supports SNMP,
comes with an embedded Web GUI and can be optionally managed via a Management VLAN.
Designed very cost effectively for volume deployment,the EtherNID™ EE unlocks the business-
case for High-Performance,manageable Metro Ethernet service delivery in the last-mile.
