At the german BUNTE new faces award Ambion Gmbh used a full dmXLAN system.

In the system setup a lot of dmXLAN specific functions were used. Like the Loop and Filtering functions of the switch8LX, the softpatching, backup functions in the nodes and the dmXLAN control software for system overview. Comments from network operator Markus "Kalle" Kalwinsky: "It is like fun to work with ELC network equipment. The network nodes in the truss make life easier for the technichians, as cabeling work is much easier. The network filtering and loop funcions of the switch8 LX are most convincing."

ELC equipment used:

 4 x dmXLAN Switch 8 LX
 1 x dmXLAN Node 8
 1 x dmXLAN Node 4
 6 x dmXLAN Node 3
