Importance of Transport Infrastructure Design to the Performance of Carrier Ethernet Services (original) (raw)

Looking to the access, aggregation and core parts of the current telecommunication networks a wide spectrum of transport technologies is applied by the carriers. In one hand, it is because of the intention to save the already exist- ing investments in legacy networks, but on the other hand the new broadband and interactive services often require new technologies to implement in the network immediately. In the new era of Carrier Ethernet services and the devel- opment of high-fashion applications less attention is paid for the underlying transport infrastructure. In this article we demonstrate the importance of transport infrastructure de- sign to the performance of end-to-end Carrier Ethernet ser- vices. We mainly focus on the core segment to perform availability analysis of the recent transport network archi- tectures, but we also illustrate the end-to-end service per- formance by analyzing case studies on real network imple- mentations.
