White Papers
Stretch the Edge
For Ethernet services to truly become mainstream they must be available to any and all customer locations, regardless of the size of the location, the connection mechanism or the connection speed. This white paper discusses the market size and opportunity for retail Ethernet services at both 10 Mbps and above and sub-10 Mbps.
Ethernet Services Lifecycle
This white paper describes the life cycle for Ethernet services, from the pre-standard deployments already occurring to the full and mature deployments designed to carry Ethernet services to a multi-billion dollar industry.
Multiservice Packet-based Access
This white paper explores the tradeoffs in using SONET/SDH and Ethernet separately to deliver multiple services into a metro area. Multiservice access can bridge both technologies and enable carriers to move towards offering high-speed flexible bandwidth, while continuing to offer traditional services.
Understanding Metro Multiservice Access
The term "multiservice access" is a broad term that means different things to different people. This paper clarifies some of the confusion surrounding multiservice access platforms and capabilities in the metro network, offers a high-level view of the pros and cons of four key vendor approaches, and presents the product family that Overture Networks has developed specifically to address this space.
Pseudowire and GFP/VCAT
Recently, two different technologies have been developed to support the delivery of data services over existing provider networks - Generic Framing Procedure/Virtual Concatenation (GFP/VCAT) and Pseudo Wires (PW). This paper examines how these two techniques are used, the benefits and limitations of each, and discusses the trend that both schemes will more than likely be required to address this issue.
