Chrysolite is a combination of differing technologies to create a
wide area switched Ethernet solution. Each Chrysolite switch has a
unique MAC address (N-MAC). A link state protocol provides pairwise
shortest paths between the N-MACs (one N-MAC per switch).
Customers connect to the Chrysolite cloud using Ethernet connections.
By setting the locally administered bit in the Ethernet address used
to connect to the Chrysolite cloud, customers can directly
encapsulate traffic into assigned source and destination C-MAC (MAC)
addresses.
Each of these C-MAC addresses specifies a unique customer 'VLAN
circuit'. This proves end to end paths across the Chrysolite cloud
without requiring any special headers, MAC in MAC or Q-in-Q
encapsulation.
