Extreme Networks Speaking Session at Ethernet Expo

• Date and time: Tuesday, November 3, 9:50 - 10:50 a.m.
• Topic: Success Stories - Addressing Enterprise Requirements for Ethernet Services with Dynamic QOS & Robust SLAs
• Overview: While relatively few enterprises enjoy advanced traffic management today, many are looking forward to using more dynamic traffic management that will increase their ability to adapt to changing communications requirements. Session speakers will highlight how operators can deliver Ethernet-based solutions with various quality of service (QOS) and class of service (COS) guarantees and robust service-level agreements (SLAs) tailored for each customer's unique needs. Each COS level can process traffic with different QOS and traffic profiles (delay, jitter, loss, bandwidth, and availability).
