Abstract

Marconi Corp. commissioned The Tolly Group to evaluate the Layer 2 and Layer 3 interoperability of the ESR-5000, version V52.0, a backbone and/or edge switch. The Tolly Group engineers put the ESR-5000 through a battery of tests designed to reveal the depth of interoperability the switch provides. The ESR-5000 was tested for interoperability with nine other switches from six other network infrastructure vendors.
