?– Impact of style Although some uniformity is enforced through a common template
across the discussion of the various solutions to enable a relative comparison,
it must be noted that, to some extent, it is very much a ???comparing apples to oranges???
exercise and as such, there are inherent differences between the solution chapters.
Furthermore, despite best efforts to provide consistency, individual authors??™ styles
will invariably introduce some differences; however, substantial care has been taken
to minimize this and ensure that each chapter indeed serves as a solid source of
practical and insightful information on a specific solution.

How the Book Is Organized
The sections and chapters of the book are organized in a logical fashion to bring some
clarity and depth into what is a fairly complex and often confusing topic. There are
three distinct parts to the book:
?– Part I: Background Provides the background and rationale for Carrier Ethernet;
also illustrates the market opportunity for Carrier Ethernet.
?– Part II: Solutions Covers the specific solutions employed for providing Carrier
Ethernet using a standardized template.
