With industry leading density and performance, the Alcatel-Lucent 7450 Ethernet Service Switch router supports scalable, reliable and predictable SLA-based services for consumer triple play and business Carrier Ethernet VPN services. The Alcatel-Lucent 7450 Ethernet Service Switch ( ESS) router is designed from the ground up to deliver revenue-generating Carrier Ethernet VPN services for both consumer and business markets, while minimizing operating expenses to reduce the total cost of ownership. The Alcatel-Lucent 7450 ESS router overcomes the limitations imposed by traditional Ethernet switches to deliver Carrier Ethernet VPN services profitably. It sets a new market standard for the delivery of Ethernet business services such as virtual private wire services (VPWS's) and virtual private LAN services (VPLS's), and for high-density, service-aware, Ethernet aggregation for consumer triple play services over IP/MPLS-based networks. The scalable performance and port density provided by the Alcatel-Lucent 7450 ESS router is available in four chassis configurations: 12-slot Alcatel-Lucent 7450 ESS-12 7-slot Alcatel-Lucent 7450 ESS-7 6-slot Alcatel-Lucent 7450 ESS-6 1-slot Alcatel-Lucent 7450 ESS-1
