- Protected Ethernet Rings for Optical Access Networks
- This paper proposes a centralized link layer architecture for providing low latency fault recovery for optical access rings. This architecture exploits the naturally uneven breakdown of network management responsibilities between the components of an access ring. Important administrative operations like ring status checking, fault detection and recovery are aggregated at...

- Lightpath-Level Protection Versus Connection-Level Protection for Carrier-Grade Ethernet in a Mixed-Line-Rate Telecom Network
- Ethernet is a success story in Local Area Networks LAN. Efforts for extending its boundaries beyond LAN to the carriers' backbone networks are in progress. The paper studies the problem of designing reliable and cost-efficient high-rate (100 Gbit/s) carrier-grade Ethernet in a multi-line-rate telecom network under signal transmission-range constraints. Reliability...

- German Bank Taps Foundry to Bring Infrastructure Into the Ethernet Age
- Sparkasse Bielefeld is the largest savings bank in the Ostwestfalen-Lippe region. The bank successfully migrated it's headquarter network, including 550 clients and 104 servers, from Token Ring to state-of-the-art Gigabit Ethernet. The migration became necessary when Bielefeld's previous hardware supplier discontinued production further development of its Token Ring components. The...

- Scalable Ethernet Using VLAN Stacking
- Thanks to the recent standardisation of long-range, high-bandwidth Ethernet interfaces, Ethernet can now be used in metropolitan networks. It can be said that Ethernet now offers the same bandwidth and range as traditional WAN technologies. However, adapted interfaces alone do not turn Ethernet into a WAN technology. A carrier-class network...

- Ethernet as Transport Technology of Choice in Campus Ring Environments
- The demand for more bandwidth is clearly driven by IP-based applications and consequently service providers are looking at infrastructures best support such applications. It has become clear that a packet-centric infrastructure is preferred and it is therefore displacing technologies like SONET, ATM and Frame Relay due to the high cost...

- Technical Paper: How Fast are Ethernet Networks?
- The faster a network, the more rapidly it sends a file from one computer to another. Networking speeds are measured in megabits per second Mbps. Standard Ethernet transmits data at a speed of 10 Mbps, which is ample performance to send business files quickly to other computers and printers. Fast...
