Supporting both 802.3ah EFM standards as well as Zhone’s proprietary
lightweight Ethernet bonding technologies, the EtherXtend devices also
provide flexibility. The dual-mode operation allows an EtherXtend device to
aggregate into standards-based products such as the MALC broadband loop
carrier, and other EtherXtend-SHDSL-x units, or they may also connect into
pre-standard Ethernet Loop Bonding products such as Zhone’s 12000E,
SIM2000, SuD2000, SMD20000, and SNE2000 series Ethernet access

Technology description
EFM provides performance for data traveling across a connection between the
customer and the central office (CO) or what has become commonly known
as the head end. This connection has been a stopgap for Internet traffic,
limiting performance to whatever the constraints of this connection are. No
matter how fast data could travel over xDSL links over the network, it would
