Service POP Solution

Enhance Network Performance

Cisco Service POP solutions offer a multiservice transport platform that helps enable Ethernet switching and grooming to reduce expenses and increase network efficiency.

Enhance Service POP Performance
The dynamic and evolving service POP (point of presence) network segment controls metro traffic, switches packets at the edge, and performs backbone switching of interconnected POPs. Increasingly, it is the center of high-value Internet services such as:

  • Web content
  • Domain Name System (DNS) servers
  • VPN
  • Other vital revenue-generating applications

Cisco Service POP solutions are highly efficient, manageable, and scalable to help you support all these requirements. These solutions offer multiservice interfaces and switching, providing both operational speed and flexibility in this rapidly changing area of the network.

Efficiently Manage Bandwidth
These service POP solutions combine dense wavelength-division multiplexing (DWDM) support with SONET/SDH optical interfaces of up to 10 Gbps. This feature provides highly efficient bandwidth management at granularities as fine as STS-1.

Cisco Service POP solutions also help conserve valuable space and reduce power, cooling, and sparing costs. A single-bay POP solution can manage thousands of 2.5- and 10-Gbps circuits and their STS-1 payloads.

Offer Exceptional Service Flexibility
Together, these service POP solution features give you exceptional service flexibility. You can also manage bandwidth in wavelength, OC-N, and STS-1 increments and their data equivalents.

A Cisco Service POP solution is an important component of metro networks.

Important features and benefits of Cisco Service POP solutions include:

  • Service POPs groom traffic from the metro network, perform edge packet switching when IP services are enabled, and perform backbone switching when POPs are interconnected.
  • Service POPs are also hubs of high-value Internet services such as:
    • Web content
    • DNS servers to Internet service providers
    • VPN
    • Other applications deployed on a range of flexible, scalable, high-performance IP routers
  • Exceptional multiservice interfaces and switching provide both operational speed and flexibility in this rapidly changing area of the network.
  • DWDM support combines with time-division multiplexing (TDM) optical interfaces of up to 10 Gbps for efficient bandwidth management at the STS-1 level of granularity.
