Ethernet White Papers
An Introduction to Resilient Packet Rings
Overview Metro Ethernet networks extend the boundaries of the LAN environment to encompass the metropolitan and even wide area network. Metro Ethernet solutions allow service providers to seamlessly address the burgeoning increase in demand for bandwidth and strict performance resulting from the proliferation of video-centric applications and services, while maintaining the cost-effectiveness and simplicity that make Ethernet so attractive. Advanced Ethernet capabilities - coupled with the reach, scale and reliability strengths of optical networking products - enable a ubiquitous service plane for profitable, next-generation services such as triple and quadruple play, wireless video and data, and Ethernet business connectivity.
