High-Quality Carrier Ethernet Services Using Metro Packet Optical Transport

Overview Carrier Ethernet business services are gaining in popularity worldwide, and are forecast to grow from over $3 billion in 2006 to at least $10 billion by 2010. This healthy outlook is sure to create heavy competition among service providers and necessitate a transformation of best-effort services into more sophisticated offerings, with stringent Service Level Agreements (SLAs) that include Quality of Service (QoS) and availability metrics. These advanced capabilities will allow Carrier Ethernet services to replace Frame Relay, Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM), and Time Division Multiplexing (TDM) private line services more fully.
