- Migration to Ethernet Rings: High Capacity, High Availability Mobile Backhaul Aggregation Transport
- This paper provides guidelines for mobile operators who wish to deliver higher capacities over their aggregation wireless backhaul networks. The paper will show how wireless Ethernet Ring topologies facilitate much better availability than typical SONET/SDH and how cost-per-bit reduction and improved overall user experience can be achieved. In addition the...

- Switching and Traffic Grooming in WDM Networks
- This paper considers the role of switching in minimizing the number of electronic ports (e.g., SONET ADMs) in an optical network that carries sub-wavelength traffic. Providing nodes with the ability to switch traffic between wavelengths, such as through the use of SONET cross-connects, can reduce the required number of electronic...

- 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...

- SURPASS Carrier Ethernet: Focus on Ethernet Ring Protection (ERP)
- Ethernet Ring Protection ERP, part of the Siemens Advanced Ethernet Package, is a network protection mechanism that enables carriers to enjoy an SDH/SONET-like ring protection while leveraging the cost-effectiveness of Ethernet technology. ERP is interoperable with traditional Ethernet and MPLS protection mechanisms, even when other vendors' switches are part of...
