The Metro Ethernet Network - Comparison to Legacy SONET/SDH MANs for Metro Data Service Providers (July 2003) |
||
| Summary : | This paper focuses on the results of a study commissioned by the MEF to quantify how Ethernet-over-fiber and next-generation SONET/SDH-based architectures afford the operational simplicity, data transport efficiency, and scalability required to offer service providers a superior return on investment (ROI). The study finds that the Ethernet based service solutions provide a 49 percent operational expense and 39 percent capital expense savings as compared to legacy SONET/SDH solutions. Lastly, this paper offers explores how service providers can increase service revenue by offering a comprehensive suite of flexible, granular, and affordable metro Ethernet services easily tailored to meet the dynamic requirements of enterprise customers. | ||

Metro Ethernet Services - A Technical Overview (June 2003) |
||
| Summary : | This whitepaper provides a comprehensive technical overview of Ethernet services, based on the work of the Metro Ethernet Forum (MEF) Technical Committee. The paper is intended to help buyers and users of Ethernet services understand the various types and characteristics of Ethernet services, and to help service providers clearly communicate their service capabilities. | ||

| Summary : | This white paper examines the dynamics that are leading to smaller IT budgets and shows the relative importance of IT projects.This paper also identifies why bandwidth is the most expensive component of network ownership and discusses how these costs can be dramatically reduced.It will also demonstrate that a new class of networking services can directly contribute a measurable IT ROI for the CFO,CIO and senior IT manager. | ||

| Headline : | MPLS in Optical Networks | ||
| Summary : | Multi-Protocol Label Switching (MPLS) is growing in popularity as a set of protocols forprovisioning and managing core networks. The networks may be data-centric like those ofISPs, voice-centric like those of traditional telecommunications companies, or a convergednetwork that combines voice and data. At least around the edges, all these networks are converging on a model that uses the Internet Protocol (IP) to transport data. | ||

| Headline : | Observations on the Ethernet Transceiver Market | ||
| Summary : | CIR believes that the safe bet is that only three manufacturers out of literally dozens of Optical Ethernet transceiver manufacturers in existence around the globe can be confident in their ability to survive in this exceptionally competitive arena. Both Agilent and Finisar are adequately entrenched in the market and IBM can count on its internal customer base. While there will be opportunities for a small number of other suppliers in a space, which is expected to significantly grow worldwide from under $400 million in 2001 to over $1 billion in 2006, potential for success will be based on constructing very stringent business plans for a historically low-margin generating market. Moreover, the bulk of the action over CIR's forecast period will take place with the more mature Gigabit Ethernet standard and so newcomers just touting 10-GigE optical transceivers will need to be selling in other product areas or will need to fervently hope they get acquired relatively soon. | ||
