| Wipro's
Ethernet MAC Bridge protocol stack provides a
MAC Bridging software (802.1D) with QoS (802.1p),
VLAN (802.1Q), RSTP (802.1w), MSTP (802.1s), Authentication
(802.1X), IGMP snooping along with link aggregation
(802.3ad) functionality. The solution supports
IETF MIBs for SNMP management .Wipro Ethernet
MAC bridge solution offers OEM Vendors and Chipset
Vendors with a fully tested and integrated Layer
2 protocol suite engineered for portability and
scalability.
Backed by Wipro’s 20 year
technological expertise and billion dollar service
operations, Wipro would help chipset vendors and
SBC vendors build high quality products with their
hardware platform with standard compliant “ready
to deploy” solutions. This helps in crashing
their customers’ product development cycle
and increasing the value that they provide at
a calculable lower cost.
