The Patton 2888 Inverse Mux transports Ethernet over bonded T1/E1 circuits. Unlike other solutions which are difficult to configure, the Multi-Megabit Inverse Mux makes it easy to transparently Bridge Ethernet over the WAN while applying ACTIVE Layer 2/3 QoS, traffic shaping and filtering.
The Patton 2888 T1/E1 Inverse Mux provides point-to-point Ethernet connectivity over T1 circuits. Two Ethernet ports ensure easy connection to any LAN infrastructure.
2888 Four-Port T1/E1 Multi-Megabit Inverse Multiplexer provides point-to-point high-bandwidth Ethernet/IP connectivity over bonded T1/E1 circuits. Dual 10/100/1000 Ethernet ports ensure easy connection to any LAN infrastructure.
In order to maximize the bandwidth utilization over the T1/E1 links, the Multi-Megabit Inverse Mux uses Multi-Link PPP to bond the individual circuits into one high bandwidth WAN link. Ethernet/IP traffic is transparently bridged over the link using PPP/BCP which adds minimal encapsulation overhead when compared to ATM.
Key features make the Multi-Megabit Inverse Mux an ideal solution for VLAN trunk extension. The Inverse Mux supports IEEE 802.1p/Q VLAN tagging and priority. VLAN tagged traffic that is received on any of the Gigabit Ethernet interfaces is transparently transported over the WAN to the matching Inverse Mux on the other side. The VLAN priority bits are inspected and the QoS of the individual Ethernet frames are preserved end-to-end. The Multi-Megabit Inverse Mux likewise supports VLAN tagging of Ethernet traffic.
