Applications

The Wellfleet ACE 32 card was designed for high-speed packet forwarding and Ethernet connectivity in core routing and bridging applications. Wellfleet routers and bridges were deployed in enterprise networks, Internet service provider (ISP) backbone infrastructure, and telecommunications environments throughout the 1990s. The ACE 32 module provided the network interface necessary for connecting Wellfleet systems to enterprise Ethernet networks. This product dates from the era when Wellfleet was a leading independent router vendor before its acquisition by Bay Networks (later Nortel Networks). The ACE series remains sought after by network enthusiasts, legacy system maintainers, and those building period-accurate 1990s-era networking laboratories or historical equipment collections.
