Options for Delivering IP and Ethernet Services Over SONET/SDH Networks

Overview The service provider market is changing rapidly as more companies adopt advanced network applications such as voice over IP (VoIP) and videoconferencing. Service providers are under mounting pressure to support the high-bandwidth, multipoint Ethernet and IP characteristics that these emerging applications require, while continuing to deliver traditional voice and data. They have two choices: They can employ the traditional time-division multiplexing (TDM) model to provide basic, Layer 1, point-to-point Ethernet circuits, or follow a more scalable multilayer approach that is capable of supporting advanced multipoint data applications. This white paper discusses the capabilities and advantages of Cisco Carrier Ethernet and Cisco Multilayer Ethernet provisioning, including sample deployment scenarios for each approach.
