Overview

The migration from circuit-based to packet-based networks is well underway. This is occurring in many geographies and in multiple regions within service provider networks. The investment and interest in packet-based technologies stems from the lower overall costs, flexible bandwidth, and inherent ease-of-use. Leading this charge is Ethernet, the most successful networking technology ever invented. A new variety of Ethernet called Carrier Ethernet is positioned to dominate emerging business and residential networks. This paper will explore the characteristics of Carrier Ethernet, which is increasingly being used to transport and deliver a wide range of services and applications. In addition, we will highlight various applications and the growth potential in the market.
