Ethernet eats everything
February 2007

Improvements to Ethernet technology -- including intelligent tunnels, end-to-end traffic management, and greater resiliency to hard and soft failures -- promise to make the protocol better able to replace SONET/SDH. Connection-oriented Ethernet platforms that support today's standards (PWE3/MPLS) and are field software upgradeable to emerging standards (PBT and T-MPLS) will provide service providers the flexibility they seek.

By David King - Gridpoint Systems

Ethernet continues to demonstrate its resilience against time, technical, and market limitations. Service providers are making the move to Ethernet to offer enhanced data services and lower capital and operating costs through a converged packet transport fabric.

To meet growing demand and match the capabilities of previous technologies, equipment suppliers and service providers must evolve Ethernet for it to continue to thrive. Carriers are seeking to simplify their networks by converging to a common operations approach that combines the low cost and networking flexibility of packet processing with the determinism; operations, administration, and maintenance (OAM) capabilities; and operational attributes (reliability, quality of service [QoS], and scalability) found in their circuit-based infrastructure. As shown in Figure 1, this approach may span the network element, network element management, and operational support system layers.
