Overview The world of telecommunications is driven by changes in consumption patterns. These include changes from legacy TDM to VoIP, from TDM leased lines to Layer 1, Layer 2, and Layer 3 VPNs, from TDM-based 2G and 2.5G mobile networks to data-centric 3G networks, and from simple best effort high-speed Internet access to advanced triple play networks for small and medium businesses and home use. The need for data connectivity across the WAN/MAN is ever growing. Enterprises with geographically distributed offices want to expand their Ethernet-based LANs to connect remote branches to their headquarters, and their business to the Internet.
