?– Carrier-class OAM Carrier-class Operational, Administration, and Maintenance
(OAM) capability that will integrate with existing Service Provider operational
models. This covers a wide array of capabilities that enables life-cycle management
at the service level. With Carrier Ethernet??”based networks reaching tens of
kilometers and thousands of subscribers, the need for sophisticated OAM features
is apparent. Carrier Ethernet incorporates cutting-edge service creation and management
techniques that exceed those of both enterprise Ethernet and the legacy
telecom infrastructure.
?– Rapid Provisioning The capability to provision new Ethernet services rapidly
is a key departure from the long and protracted commissioning intervals for traditional
TDM services. This capability translates into allowing granular increases
in bandwidth to existing services; the addition of new services, each with a specific
performance assurance (SLA); and the ability to enable these services remotely most
of the time.
Carrier Ethernet leverages the established benefits of LAN Ethernet to the end users
while simultaneously enabling Service Providers to offer a set of carrier-class attributes
in a manner that is not only aligned with other services such as ATM, Frame
Relay, and Private Line, but does so in a scalable, robust, and flexible manner that supports
the next-generation of packet-based applications much more cost effectively .
