Product Description

Suddenly the action in telecom is on the local segment of the carrier network--the Metropolitan Area Network (MAN). The big challenge in 2002 and beyond will be to re-architect MANs for broadband services and hee is the perfect resource for assessing the technology options in terms of next-generation platforms, products, and business models. This book will help service providers answer questions such as "SONET or Ethernet?", and "ATM or point-to-point?"


* Sorts out the options and reviews each likely solution against application requirements
* Discusses complicated issues such as municipal-owned infrastructure
* First book to review all emerging metro protocols and their interactions
* Offers design approaches and business models for real-world deployments



From the Back Cover

YOUR SURVIVAL GUIDE TO MAKING SENSE OF THE COMPLEX TECHNOLOGIES AND BURGEONING OPPORTUNITIES OF ETHERNET IN THE METRO ACCESS AND CORE

Suddenly all the action in telecom is on the local segment of the carrier network – the Metropolitan Area Network (MAN). The big challenge in 2002 and beyond will be to re-architect MANs for broadband services. Of course, great promise comes with great risk, and in today's confusing telecom market people are searching for ways to minimize the unknowns.

Ethernet-Based Area Networks is the perfect first resource for assessing your technology options in terms of next-generation platforms, products, and business models. This is the first book to review all emerging metro protocols and their interactions and likely market impact. Written by hands-on industry insiders, Ethernet-Based Area Networks


* Sorts out options and reviews each proposed solution against application requirements
* Helps you find your way through complicated regulatory issues
* Offers design approaches and business models for real-world deployments
* Details new and proposed standards for the metro environment
* Critically examines broadband architectures
* Challenges providers to think out of the box

If you've been looking for an informative, plainspoken reference that sheds light on all corners of the metro access and metro core environments – your search ends here.

4.0 out of 5 stars On the fence, November 9, 2002
By A Customer
This is a good book. It provides a solid foundation for questioning the way in which MANs are constructed today. The problem with the book is the author takes a confusing stance on the subject of constructing pure Ethernet networks within the MAN. At points, you will feel as though the author isn't sure himself that this is the best solution for providing a robust solution. But still a very good read. When I first picked it up, I couldn't put it down. But I kept expecting something that never did manifest. This book needed to provide more detail in terms of the actual construction,and less on the comparison between legacy TDM and Ethernet. Very much worth reading though.
