What is Carrier Ethernet?
• Carrier Ethernet is short for Carrier Grade Ethernet
• Carrier Ethernet is a set of extensions to Ethernet to
enable SPs/Carriers to provide large scale Ethernet
services and use Ethernet in their networks
• Carrier Ethernet has five attributes:
1- Standardized Services (E-Line & E-LAN)
2- Scalability
3- Reliability (rapidly detect & recover from failures)
4- Advanced Quality of Service (to offer SLAs)
5- Service Management (provisioning, diagnosing
faults, and measuring performance)

System Bandwidth and
Oversubscription
1. ESP bandwidth denotes the total ‘output’ bandwidth of the system,
regardless of the direction
2. As long as High priority traffic long is not over-subscribed, i.e., <=10G
