Description:
The rapid growth of the Internet and Internet-enabled applications has led to a rapid increase in the scale of bandwidth required in service provider networks. Gigabit Ethernet has emerged as a crucial technology for enabling high-speed, low-cost network connectivity to deliver Layer 2 or Layer 3 services to in the next generation of Service Provider's network architectures. In addition to the scalable bandwidth provided by Gigabit Ethernet, the service provider's next-generation network also needs to deliver sophisticated packet services that enable and enforce tiered levels of provisioned bandwidth to meet the needs of a diverse customer base. The ability to deliver either Layer 2 or Layer 3 end-user services provisioned with features such as quality of service (QoS), traffic shaping, and traffic accounting have become critical requirements that must be integrated with high-speed Gigabit Ethernet connectivity to deliver the network capabilities necessary to ensure service provide...
