Carrier Ethernet
by Abdul Kasim
In order to leverage the potential of Ethernet beyond the LAN, it had to be augmented
with additional ???carrier-class??? characteristics; identifying and formalizing these detailed
characteristics was, therefore, essential to enabling this role for Ethernet. This

henceforth referred to as Carrier Ethernet (services).
