Ethernet White Papers

The Promise of the Triple Play

Overview Carrier success in delivering the 'Triple-play' of voice, video, and data is not only dependent upon the proper choice of service and content partners but also on the right network infrastructure. This network infrastructure must be capable of evolving as business and consumer needs change, as new services and applications are introduced into the marketplace, and as bandwidth needs grow. This paper describes the Ethernet infrastructure in support of these next generation service networks. It looks at different last mile technologies, including active Ethernet and new forms of DSL, and contrasts them to other technologies which may offer less scalability or longevity. It presents a future-proof network core based on MPLS and VPLS.
