From Legacy Ethernet to Carrier Ethernet 2.0 for the Business Services of the Enterprise
Born in 1980, Ethernet is still the technology of the enterprise sites. From the shared
medium of its birth, the evolution of Ethernet has been continuous: introduction of the
transparent and learning bridges, of the Spanning Tree for the reliability, of VLANs to
limit the diffusion domains and to adapt the communication system to the enterprise
organization and finally passing from a diffusion model to a full duplex switching system.
Last but not least, the evolution of the bandwidth has always been ahead of the needs of
the connected equipments and congestion was not a real problem in this connectionless
system operating in best effort mode. On the contrary, the interconnection of the sites of a
corporate network has always been a problem.
In 2001, the Metro Ethernet Forum (MEF) defined three types of Ethernet services
oriented connection, E-Line (point-to-point), E-LAN (multipoint-to-multipoint) and later
on E-Tree (point-to-multipoint). Ethernet follows the same evolution as IP with the
introduction of MPLS in 1998.
Facing the anarchical development of limited offers of Ethernet Service by the operators,
the MEF, in 2004, redefined its mission: "accelerate the worldwide adoption of carrierclass
Ethernet networks and services". To a carrier class service is associated an SLA. For
the operator, the SLA is linked to the added value of the service while it is on the
realisation of the SLA that the satisfaction of the customer will be judged. Between 2005
and 2008, the MEF developed its certification program.
Under pressure from the customers, the emphasis passed, at the end of the decade, from a
carrier–based Ethernet service in the Metro to a carrier-based Ethernet service global, on
the same geographical basis as the Internet. The MEF concentrated its efforts on the
interconnection of providers of services as well as the use of wholesale operators able to
provide tunnels to reach customer "of net".
In February 2012, the MEF announced CE 2.0 to revisit the certification program and
some specifications centred on the three new directions of works: the 3 CoS, the
interconnection and E-Access and the management.
The last part of the seminar will cover the new architectures of the enterprises' networks
with Q-in-Q, VPLS (MAC-in-MAC), H-VPLS, PBB and PBB-TE.
It will be shown that Ethernet Pseudo Wires over MPLS will allow VPLS and H-VPLS to
deploy for the enterprises global solutions for the interconnection of their distributed sites.
It will be shown also that to become a carrier-class Ethernet operator, PBB has to evolve
to PBB-TE to offer the same global solution but without deploying MPLS between the the
Metro access and the access of the edge of the backbone.
A discussion about T-MPLS and MPLS-TP will close the seminar. |
