The challenges of delivering Carrier Ethernet to business
customers are more significant than those associated with offering it to residential
customers. And while there is definitely some overlap across the business and
residential segments, there are also significant differences, for instance, in the type
of services, whether SLAs are required, pricing, etc.
?– North American focus Although, wherever possible, we attempt to maintain
a global perspective in the discussions, the default is largely based on the North
American experience.
?– Technology/Solution depth The focus of this book is not a detailed technical
treatise of the technologies or solutions by themselves; there is considerable literature
available that should be consulted for this purpose (and each of the chapters in
the book identifies a list of useful references about the respective technology solutions).
It is more concerned with answering, in some depth and based on practical
experience, the vital questions when considering Carrier Ethernet solutions.
?– Time-sensitive The content and solution developments are current as of this publishing;
given the dynamic nature of this field, it is anticipated that some content,
notably on developments in standards, may need to be updated with time.
