Furthermore, using a common template across the
various commercial solutions focusing on the vital strategic and field issues, the book
attempts to provide a meaningful relative assessment of the different solutions. In so
doing, the book strives to provide both Service Providers and end users alike with a
solid and holistic understanding to aid in making an informed choice in the delivery
and usage of Carrier Ethernet services, respectively.
The absence of a reasonably comparable book on this subject of delivering Carrier
Ethernet added to the urgency of this endeavor; although there is a lot of material on
this topic available on the World Wide Web, it is largely fragmented, often with contradictory
versions, and would take a substantial effort to distill the necessary information.
The value of this book, therefore, became compelling; it is the first and, currently,
the only book that addresses this very timely topic and one where the stakes are high,
in the billions of dollars.
Given the substantial number of very different technologies/solutions that had to be
covered in the context of delivering Carrier Ethernet, it was felt that the most effective
and authoritative approach would be to leverage world-class experts who not only understood
the technology in depth but also offered the wisdom acquired from substantial
real-life field experience.
