What?
Service providers evolve their people, process and technology to leverage
a single, converged network on IP.
Why?
Enable greater efficiencies, lower costs, and create new revenue streams
from profitable IP-based services.
How?
Network IP transformation
Multi-purpose converged IP infrastructure
Service IP Transformation
Connectivity-centric to service-centric
Organization IP Transformation
Internal changes in sync with network IP transformation
External partnerships for service IP transformation

Introduction
Carrier Ethernet
Conclusion
Ethernet as Access
Page 6
Ethernet is the easiest access technology

Plug-and-play, auto-discovery
Ease of administration and internetworking
Port speed from 10 Mbps to 10 Gbps
Perceived as high-speed, low-cost
Little need for in-house IT support with advanced data
communication experience
A drawing of the first Ethernet system by Bob Metcalfe.
Ethernet is the ideal networking technology for office environment.

Non-carrier Grade Ethernet Solution

Page 7
The metro Ethernet services (MES) being deployed by service

providers today have significant limitations.
Poor QoS for multi-service over shared media - the only way to
minimized packet loss, jitter and delay is to overprovision
Extremely limited service portfolio best effort only
Poor VPN scalability 4k VLAN IDs per network
Poor network resiliency Spanning Tree Protocol is very slow for
network re-convergence upon network failure
Lack of OAM capabilities for service assurance
Lack of accounting capabilities for revenue generation
From a carriers point of view, Ethernet is not yet ready for the primetime
MPLS-based Ethernet
Page 8
Equipment vendors patch their products to introduce MPLSbased Ethernet service to achieve:
Better QoS based on MPLS forwarding classes
Expanded service portfolio (Layer 2 and Layer 3 VPNs)
Better scalability VLAN IDs should have only local significance
Better network resiliency MPLS Fast Reroute (FRR)
Better OAM capabilities LSP ping and traceroute
Better accounting connection-oriented packet counting
Better = varying degree of improvement

MPLS makes Ethernet a credible carrier service.
