ME60 Series Multi-Service Control Gateways

High-capacity Broadband Remote Access Server (BRAS) with tightly integrated Hierarchical QoS and unified user access and management features.

Highly scalable with slots to provide various port types from 64 Kbit/s to 100 Gbit/s, up to 240 Gbit/s subscriber access line card. Supports up to 64K subscribers per Line Processing Unit (LPU), up to 256,000 subscribers per chassis.

Rich IPv6 support and industry’s largest capacity Carrier Grade NAT (CGN) service board enable smooth migration from IPv4 to IPv6 networking.

Features

Performance, reliability, security, and comprehensive subscriber services and monetization features make Huawei’s ME60 the easy BRAS choice

2 Tbit/s hardware platform supports high-capacity routing boards (10 Gbit/s to 240 Gbit/s) and Carrier Grade NAT (CGN) boards up to 160 Gbit/s
Capable of processing 1,000 user access requests per second per chassis; over 60,000 users can connect in one minute
Supports Destination Address Accounting (DAA) and alternative access modes including IPoX, PPPoX, 802.1x, and web authentication
Redundant, non-stop design implements Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol (VRRP+), and Bi-directional Forwarding Detection (BFD) for link and for VRRP
1+1 or 1:1 inter-chassis and intra-chassis hot backup ensures subscriber services are always online
Supports NAT44, NAT64, DS-Lite, and L2NAT
