ADTRAN NetVanta 5660
Redefining cloud connectivity

Overview:

ADTRAN’s NetVanta® 5660 is an integrated Layer 2/3 carrier Ethernet services router providing a universal edge device supporting any mix of Layer 3 IP VPN, Layer 2 VPN (E-LINE/E-LAN), and internet access services. Many carriers are facing the customer demand for receiving carrier Ethernet services while supporting Layer 3 services, which often times requires multiple hardware platforms. ADTRAN’s NetVanta 5660 is designed to alleviate the burden of these multiple platforms into a single piece of CPE.

Gigabit Access for Business Services

Service Providers around the world are delivering higher bandwidth services to their customers everyday with the explosion of bandwidth hungry mobile devices as well as cloud based applications. These applications are increasingly becoming line of business, or business critical, increasing the importance of reliable and fast cloud connectivity. ADTRAN’s NetVanta 5660 is designed to allow service providers to meet and exceed their customer expectations with an integrated Layer 2 and Layer 3 carrier services platform delivering Gigabit throughput and increasing the value passed on to the end customer.

Redundancy

The NetVanta 5660 provides multiple levels of redundancy for carrier access services. Intelligent failover can be provided via applications with redundant Ethernet links failing over to the active link anytime a link down event occurs. In the event that a single EFM loop fails, the NetVanta 5660 will continue to operate on the remaining loop, providing additional resiliency. Once the failed loop is operational again, the NetVanta 5660 will automatically detect its availability and will auto-recover to the original configuration.

Quality of Service Flexibility

The NetVanta 5660 offers QoS support for delay-sensitive traffic like VoIP or video, and enhanced QoS support for Ethernet WAN connections providing the ability to prioritize traffic by VLAN. This solution also delivers packet flow capabilities certified compliant per the Metro Ethernet Forum. These packet flow capabilities offer the traffic classification and bandwidth profiling functionality required to offer customers a flexible, tiered service offering with up to eight class of service queues.

Modular Hardware

The NetVanta 5660 is a modular platform for global deployments with WAN interface options for quad bonded VDSL2, quad and octal SHDSL (EoCu). There are 4 Gigabit combination (copper or SFP) LAN interfaces— all with carrier Ethernet functionality— and one fiber interface.

Converging Layer 2 and 3 Services

The NetVanta 5660 eases the transition from Layer 3 IP VPN services delivered over TDM-based PPP/FR circuits to Ethernet-based services deliver over broadband access networks (EoX, VDSL2, GPON, point-to-point Ethernet). Key carrier Ethernet features:

• MAC-swap loopbacks
• Y.1731 carrier Ethernet OAM
• MEF-compliant traffic management
