A ubiquitous, standardized,
carrier-class Service and Network
defined by five attributes
that distinguish it from familiar
LAN based Ethernet
In the IT and Enterprise Communities,Carrier Ethernet is often referred to as
Ethernet Business Services

EVC: Ethernet Virtual Connection UNI: User Network Interface
“In a Carrier Ethernet
network, data is transported
across Point-to-Point and
Multipoint-to-Multipoint
Ethernet Virtual Connections
(EVCs) according to the
attributes and definitions of
the E-Line, E-LAN and E-
Tree services”

Implementation Guidance• The above bandwidth profiles and related Performance metrics are a small set of those available.
• New MEF Specifications recommend performance objectives based on both distance and
application types (MEF 23.1 is described in the technical sessions, later)
Impact for Providers and Enterprises• Ability to tune Carrier Ethernet services to exactly match wide variety of changing applications
requirements creates a highly responsive network that reacts well to bursts of high priority data.

Carrier Ethernet as Ethernet Cloud Carrier
• The MEF is engaged in new developments that
addresses key issues for Cloud Providers and
Cloud Consumers alike:
The secure, business-class delivery of
cloud-based applications to businesses
• This work opens up significant new markets for
Cloud Providers and Cloud Carriers
2626
• The network is critical to performance of cloud services but
there has been little focus by Cloud Community
• Enterprise acceptance of cloud services delivered via the
Internet is challenged by lack of security, performance,
privacy, data governance and compliance
• Of specific concern is delivery of mission critical Private Cloud
applications via the Internet

Summary
• Carrier Ethernet as Cloud Delivery Service
will have impact on all parties
– Enterprises: Puts IT in control
• Predictable, high performance, secure and controlled access
to mission critical cloud applications
– Cloud Providers: dramatically increases scalability
• Normalized access to millions of Enterprise Cloud
consumers from one standardized interface
– Carrier Ethernet Cloud Carriers: a massive value
added service for the future
• Creates architecture for long term customer retention as
direct and indirect supplier of key cloud applications
Optimizing Mobile Backhaul with Carrier Ethernet
Result/Impact • Extremely costly – needs massive overbuild to accommodate
delay and loss sensitive traffic
• Does not scale - recipe for going out of business
• More Revenue for same cost
• More users supported with much more responsive QoS
• Avoids over-building network to ensure integrity, QoS
• Low priority Internet traffic (80% of volume) candidate for discard in very high
peak times
• Squeezes best performance from the network to maximize profitability
Result/Impact
Data from all calls, applications, provisioned as one class
Implementations with single class of service
Only real time data provisioned as real time - optimized use of bandwidth, fully without loss of quality
