Original Webinar Time: 2:00 p.m. New York/ 7:00 p.m. London time
Overview: Demand is increasing for multipoint-to-multipoint, rather than point-to-point, Ethernet-over-Sonet/SDH services. As a result, operators are pressing vendors to support Ethernet service multiplexing, any-to-any topologies, and the appropriate management and control features in their Sonet/SDH systems.
This Webinar reviews carrier requirements in this field and examines how vendors are addressing them. Topics include:
- A brief recap of the various types of Ethernet service and corresponding infrastructure requirements, together with an update on standards developments in this field
- An examination of what’s driven the rapid uptake of Ethernet private-line services among enterprise users
- How this initial success is now translating into burgeoning demands for multipoint services
- The pros and cons of different infrastructure options available to carriers wanting to address these requirements – including VPLS and RPR
- New chip developments that will facilitate the aggregation of Ethernet private lines
- The issues involved in migrating enterprise customers to multipoint Ethernet services
