Ethernet Access, High Speed Ethernet Private Line, and Carrier Ethernet

Carrier Ethernet Defined

The MEF has defined Carrier Ethernet as

A ubiquitous, standardized,carrier-class Service and Network defined by five attributes that distinguish it from familiar LAN based Ethernet

Carrier Ethernet is often referred to in

Enterprise circles as Ethernet Business Services.

The MEF is the industry’s defining body for Carrier

Ethernet.

E-Line and E-LAN Services Definitions

• E-Line Service used to create

– Ethernet Private Lines (EPL) P2P

– Virtual Private Lines (EVPL) P2MP

like Frame Relay (not shown)

– High Speed Ethernet Private Line (HSEPL)

– Customer Applications: Access, bulk data transfer, back-up, BCDR, SANs, data centers

• E-LAN Service used to create

– Multi-point to Multi-point MP2MP

– Multipoint L2 VPNs

– Transparent LAN Service

– Foundation for IPTV and Multicast networks etc.

– Cloud computing, high growth

Sprint Carrier Ethernet Services Roadmap

Phase 1:

Targeting 3Q2013

Approved implementing

• Sprint High-

Speed Ethernet

Private Line

• Dedicated, point-to-point high-speed service

• Supports 10G, 40G and 100G speeds

• On Wavelength

• Ciena 6500 platform (state of the art)

Phase 2:

Targeting3Q2014

Pending Approval

• Ethernet private

line services

• Ethernet virtual

private line

services

• Ethernet LAN

services

• E-Tree services

• Builds on foundation of Phase 1 reliable, high-speed core transport

• Includes comprehensive Layer 2 switched Ethernet with point-to-point, point-to-multipoint and multipoint-to-multipoint services, with speeds 1G and below

• Known as “switched Ethernet” or true MEF Carrier Ethernet long haul services

• Projected to use SPA-E access (could share same NNI)

Appendix



Sprint Next Generation ArchitectureSprint Next Generation WAN enables the provisioning of both wireless and wireline services, ideal for existing and emerging hosted and cloud services. Sprint will utilize Ciena 6500 hardware which provides:

• High reliability

• Improved performance and increased

flexibility

• Longer distances between regeneration points reduces hardware requirements

and decreases latency

• Ethernet over Wavelength Optical Service

Ethernet Terms Defined/UNI/ENNIEthernet Terms Defined/UNI/ENNI

Notes

EVC: Ethernet Virtual Connection

UNI: User Network Interface. the physical demarcation point between the responsibility of the Service Provider and the responsibility of the Subscriber

ENNI: External Network to Network Interface; the physical demarcation point between the responsibility of the two Service Providers

“In a Carrier Ethernet network, data is transported across Point-to-Point and Multipoint-to-Multipoint Ethernet Virtual

Connections according to the attributes and definitions of the E-Line, E-LAN, and E-Tree services”

Note that provider edge (UNI-N) devices are wholly within the provider Carrier Ethernet Network—Ciena 6500 and Juniper MX__ Ethernet Switch for Sprint

Services Using E-Line Service Type

Ethernet High Speed Private Line (EPL)—Phase 1 Carrier Ethernet

• Replaces a TDM Private line

• Port-based service with single service (EVC) across dedicated UNIs providing site-to-site connectivity

• Often delivered over SONET/SDH (Over Ciena 6500 Wave at Sprint)

• Most popular with new providers due to its simplicity

• Example shows two CEs devices each with dedicated port on Network equipment

• 10G/40G/100G

services• Enables multiple virtual services connections each with multiple

classes of service, delivered over single physical connection (UNI) to customer premises

• Most efficient service and becoming the most popular

– Optimizes use of bandwidth and ports• Supports “hub & spoke” connectivity via Service Multiplexed UNI at hub

service

Ethernet Virtual Private Tree (EVP-Tree)-Ph 2• Allows each UNI to support multiple simultaneous

services

• Multiple Roots are supported for resiliency
