Abstract

New innovations in the Ethernet space promise to significantly enhance both the scalability and capability of Ethernet as a networking technology. This article outlines how the convergence of hierarchy, OAM functionality, and enhanced forwarding capability combine to permit Ethernet to assume a much larger role in carrier networks with substantial economic and operational benefits.
