Carrier Grade Metro Ethernet Networks

Tags: ethernet, unified, applications, data

Overview This paper gives an overview on actual trends and deployments of carrier-grade Ethernet in metro, access, and core networks. This includes the related motivation, concepts, and technologies as well as open issues regarding research, development, and standardization. Ethernet as a packet-based, connection-oriented technology is deployed for metro networks worldwide today. This is driven by the massive increase of (IP-based) data traffic and the related applications. The Ethernet deployments aim at most cost-efficient data service provisioning and the migration of all legacy Layer-2 services towards a unified platform. The goal is a massive reduction of both, CapEx and OpEx.
