Common LE-OS Operating System

All Service Delivery Switches from World Wide Packets — including LE-310, LE-311, and LE-311v platforms — are based on a common LightningEdge Operating System (LE-OS) code base designed to deliver consistent benefits across all Ethernet aggregation, concentration and distribution configurations. LE-OS is one of the leading software infrastructure solutions for resilient, flexible, and cost-effective Ethernet access in metro networks and business LANs.

The common LE-OS operating system code base used in all Service Delivery Switches delivers important advantages for the network operator. First, by using a common operating code base, World Wide Packets is able to easily and quickly deploy the latest Ethernet technical advances across the entire Service Delivery Switch product line. For example, Service Delivery Switches deliver the latest Operations, Administration and Management (OAM) capabilities based on IEEE 802.3ah Ethernet in the First Mile (EFM) standard as well as Connectivity Fault Management (IEEE 802.1ag, pre-standard). And World Wide Packets is one of the first Ethernet vendors to receive MEF (Metro Ethernet Forum) 14 QoS/traffic management certification across its entire product line of Service Delivery Switches.

A second critical advantage of using the common LE-OS operating system code base is interoperability with legacy Ethernet equipment. World Wide Packets is committed to standards-based Ethernet access implementations and every LE-OS supported platform delivers unequaled interoperability with legacy Ethernet equipment along with industry-leading network resiliency, service guarantees, and long-term investment protection.

The third critical advantage of the common LE-OS code base is the improved efficiency and cost savings of having a common “look and feel” between all World Wide Packets Ethernet switching platforms. The common LE-OS code base enables a single deployment model in the distribution of configuration files, reduced training, and integrated network management with service provisioning-all of which greatly reduce ongoing operational expenditures. All LE-OS Service Delivery Switches, for example, use a common command line interface (CLI) and Management Information Base (MIB) so operators can leverage management training between World Wide Packets’ platforms. Similarly, the LE-OS auto activation capability enables World Wide Packets platforms to be automatically activated thereby reducing Moves/Adds/Changes operational expenses and simplifying overall management of the network.
