"Delivering Carrier Ethernet: Extending Ethernet Beyond the LAN"


Carrier Ethernet 53
QOS, but this is not sufficient in a Service Provider network, where with a multitude of
users competing for shared resources (bandwidth, switching, and so on), complexity is at
a totally different level. Different techniques, therefore, become necessary.
Service Management Managing a large number of customers stretched over a wider
geographical area requires Service Providers to have a sophisticated capability for installing,
troubleshooting, and upgrading Ethernet services cost effectively and quickly;
engaging in a truck-roll each time there is an issue is simply cost-prohibitive and makes
it infeasible to deliver Ethernet on a wider scale. Carrier Ethernet, in an attempt to
address these issues, provides.
?–  Unified management This encompasses standardized vendor-independent capability
to monitor, diagnose, and manage the delivery infrastructure. It is not unusual
to deliver services across multiple Service Provider networks, each of which
is often comprised of equipment from one or more manufacturers and is frequently
subject to individual differences; hence, managing services across the different
vendors??™ equipment using a common streamlined approach becomes paramount.
