?– Insights into considerations of real-life implementations of these different transport
mechanisms.
?– How these solutions stack up to each other relatively across a set of multiple
considerations.
xxiv Introduction
?– A brief discussion into the plausible future of Carrier Ethernet services and how they
may be delivered.
Intended Audience
This book is intended for a fairly broad audience engaged in a range of technology and business
roles. It assumes a fairly rudimentary knowledge of telecommunications networks
and services but attempts to simplify and elaborate wherever possible.
Scope and Limitations
While the book attempts to cover a rather broad and diverse topic with reasonable
depth, it is consciously restricted in scope to avoid becoming unwieldy, difficult to follow
and consequently, less effective. The specific constraints are noted below.
?– Enterprises only This book focuses on the delivery of Carrier Ethernet primarily
to enterprise end users. It does not consider the delivery of such services to residential
end users, who are also increasingly employing Carrier Ethernet for triple-play
(voice, video, data/Internet).
