Overview The object of this paper is to discuss the use and testing of Ethernet services in telecommunications transmission networks, with the emphasis on the commissioning through to maintenance phases of network deployment and use. This paper will introduce Ethernet in its various forms and discuss its increasing use as a transport protocol in telecommunications networks. It will then discuss what testing should be done, and how that testing can be carried out, in order to ensure quality of service for the end user of an Ethernet service.
