Definition
Carrier Ethernet is a technology that enables service providers to provide fast, standardized Ethernet connectivity to companies and households.
This technology efficiently and affordably delivers data, voice, and video services through Ethernet networks, offering a versatile and scalable communication solution. It is like a high-speed highway that service providers use to distribute internet and communication services.
Characteristics of Carrier Ethernet
- Scalability: Carrier Ethernet enables providers to increase and reduce services based on demand.
- Reliability: Carrier Ethernet networks have built-in mechanisms to identify and recover from failures and ensure continuity.
- Service management: CE provides inclusive service management capabilities, enabling administrators to control and maintain network services.
- Quality of service (QoS): CE provides multiple levels of quality of service to ensure performance for different types of traffic.
