Abstract

Metro Ethernet services are being widespread adopted by service providers worldwide. In this paper, we have discussed three Ethernet transporting technologies: transporting Ethernet services over pure switched Ethernet network, over IP/MPLS network and over SDH-based MSTP. Based on a testbed and experiment, three important performance issues, encapsulation efficiency, end-to-end delay and fault protection, are measured and evaluated for transporting Ethernet services over metropolitan area networks and some conclusions are drawn
