When something is addressable, it can be identified and manipulated independently of its surroundings. For example, screen pixels and RAM memory are addressable. Each of the screen's picture elements can be individually turned on and off, and each of the memory's bytes can be market. Some of the report's conclusions are also presented in a recent Light Reading webinar on "Packet Aware Transport". In a detailed report, "Pseudowires and the Future of Transport and Access Networks", Heavy Reading, one of the telecom industry's most highly regarded research firms, concludes that the migration of MPLS (1) (MultiProtocol Lambda Switching) The earlier name for GMPLS. See GMPLS. (2) (MultiProtocol Label Switching) A standard from the IETF for including routing information in the packets of an IP network. pseudowire technology into metro and access networks will drive the demand for pseudowire aggregation products, including for Packet ADMs. The report presents a number of case studies of early deployments by industry leading network operators, with a focus on US IXCs, and analyzes the significant benefits and applications that such product addresses in the expected migration of carriers into an "all packetized" network.

Corrigent is one of the first in the industry to introduce these technologies in a carrier-class metro transport platform, used by carriers in a widescale commercial deployment. The report also concludes that MPLS pseudowires technology is likely to play a key role in the deployment of "triple play" services over a converged packet transport infrastructure in the coming years. The Japanese service provider KDDI's deployment of Corrigent's CM-100 Packet ADM for its triple-play infrastructure is described at length, as well as additional carriers' plans to deploy Packet ADMs in their next generation transport networks. Gady Rosenfeld, Corrigent's vice president of marketing, said, "As one of the pioneers in integrating MPLS pseudowires into transport solutions, we are extremely pleased that our innovation and successful commercial rollouts are recognized by one of the industry's leading independent research firms." Scott Clavenna, chief analyst at Heavy Reading, said: "Worldwide, there is growing evidence that pseudowire technology is being extended into metro and access gear to address the need for improved management, provisioning and transport of multiple grades of packet services. KDDI's choice of packet ADMs for their nationwide rollout of triple play services is a clear indicator of this trend."

Corrigent's CM-100 is a Packet ADM that fuses together SONET/SDH technologies with packet technologies such as RPR, Ethernet Ethernet Telecommunications networking protocol introduced by Xerox Corp. in 1979. It was developed as an inexpensive way of sending information quickly between office machines connected together in a single room or building, but it rapidly became a standard computer and MPLS, to evolve today's SONET/SDH-based transport infrastructure to the next generation packet-based transport network, in both a standards-based and interoperable The ability for one system to communicate or work with another. See interoperability. manner. This breakthrough architecture solves the metro dilemma for service providers worldwide by allowing them to bridge their existing SONET services with next-generation data, voice and video services.
