"The Alcatel-Lucent 7450 ESS is a high-performance platform providing Carrier Ethernet service aggregation with industry-leading throughput, densities, and reliability. Enabling a broad service mix and a graceful migration to a converged service environment, the 7450 ESS is the platform of choice to enable wide-scale Carrier Ethernet adoption, implementation, and transformation.
The 7450 ESS integrates the scalability, resiliency and predictability of MPLS along with the performance and economics of Ethernet, to enable a metro-wide, converged packet aggregation infrastructure using Carrier Ethernet to deliver next-generation services. With the flexibility to support advanced Ethernet and IP services, the MEF-certified Alcatel-Lucent 7450 ESS allows customers to evolve their networks forward to create revenue expansion opportunities while simultaneously protecting investments made previously.
Supporting service speeds up to 100 Gb/s with no sacrifice in performance with advanced features fully enabled, the 7450 ESS scales Carrier Ethernet metros from 10 Gb/s to 100 Gb/s infrastructures with a clear path to 400 Gb/s. Additionally, with the industry’s most advanced PBB/VPLS implementation, customers have the ability to flexibly deploy either native Carrier Ethernet or MPLS-based services and functions in any combination, as their network plans require."

In several network providers in my country, Indonesia, have already implemented it for their metro-ethernet services. This device, or should I say, router, is used for their vc-switching things which will convert L2 VLAN from switches / routers and bind a vc-tag to it. And in the end, it uses the vc-tag for switching.
We'll learn it on the next post.
