The purpose is to identify architectural issues in Metro Ethernet Network (MEN) that are scalability constraints when extending the carrier grade Ethernet service provided by the MEN to a routed Ethernet service. The intention of the scalability analysis presented in this document has not been to present detailed theoretical or mathematical analysis of the issues identified. The aim has been to identify the possible constraints for routed Ethernet service and give some examples how these issues could be resolved. The detailed design for resolving these issues is left as a future work items. In addition, the first part of this work topic has been to learn internal workings of Metro Ethernet and its architectural elements.
