Abstract

Over the last few years, Ethernet technology and services have emerged as an indispensable component of the broadband networking and telecommunications infrastructure, both for network operators and service providers. As an example, Worldwide Enterprise customer demand for Ethernet services by itself is expected to hit the $30B US mark by year 2012. Use of Ethernet technology in the feeder networks that support residential applications, such as “triple play” voice, data, and video services, is equally on the rise. As the synergies between packet-aware transport and service oriented equipment continue to be exploited in the path toward transport convergence. Ethernet technology is expected to play a critical part in the evolution toward converged Optical/Packet Transport networks. Here we discuss the main business motivations, services, and technologies driving the specifications of so-called carrier Ethernet and highlight challenges associated with delivering the expectations for low implementation complexity, easy of use, provisioning and management of networks and network elements embracing this technology.

Note that the actual maximum burst size at the UNI, for instance, would be a function of the UNI link rate, the CIR and the CBS (for the “green” token bucket) or the EIR and the EBS (for the “yellow” token bucket). The Optical Transport Hierarchy encompasses integrated photonic and digital transmission and switching capabilities for next-generation transport systems.
