Information About Topology Considerations
Single Link: Inline Topology
Typically, the
SCE 2000
is connected in a full duplex GBE link between two devices (Router, BRAS,
etc.). When the
SCE 2000
is installed as an inline installation, it physically resides on the data link
between the subscribers and the network.
Figure 3-1
Single SCE Platform Single Link: In-line Topology
When configuring the
SCE 2000
, an inline installation is referred to as “inline” connection mode.
Dual link: Inline Installation
In this topology, one
SCE 2000
is connected inline in two full duplex, GBE links.
In case the two links are load-shared, asymmetrical routing might occur, and some of the flows may be
split, i.e. the upstream packets of the flow go on one link, and the downstream packets go on the other
link.
When installed in this topology, the
SCE 2000
completely overcomes this phenomenon, and provides its
normal functionality as if asymmetrical routing were not occurring in the two links.
