Objectives
> Network evolution drivers and new revenue opportunities
> What is 802.1ah (PBB) and 802.1Qay (PBB-TE) ? > How will new Ethernet OAM standards help carriers? > Networking Architecture Considerations > What about MPLS?
Demands on the Network > 1 Trillion networked devices within 15 years > 10 devices per person by 2010 > IPTV, VOD, and more drive bandwidth demand of 60%+ per year over next 5 years > Millions of service instances per metro, all with varying bandwidth and QoS demands
Networking Requirements > Service scalability Tens of thousands of subscribers per metro/region > Network scalability - >10 Mbps services per subscriber
> Multiple service traffic patterns per metro, requiring new thinking to be transported efficiently

Wireless Backhaul
>ELINE, ELAN, ETREE >Data transport and storage >Efficient multicast distribution
>Traffic engineering for low latency/ loss /jitter >Efficient broadcast distribution >PSTN 5 9s resiliency for Voice and Video >High bandwidth demands 100s of SD/HD channels
>Traffic engineering for low latency/ loss /jitter >Scalability to support 100s of channels of HD >PSTN 5 9s resiliency
Metro Marketplace
2004-2007 Landscape The world is migrating to packet to address next-generation needs:
> > > > Lowest cost per bit transport (CAPEX/OPEX) Scalable and flexible services with SLAs Traffic engineering & resource reservation High level of resiliency
Fact 3: Ethernet over any media, Any service over Ethernet Fact 4: Legacy Ethernet does not meet all next-generation needs
There are several options to deliver Ethernet services. Which is the best way?

Capacity crunched?
Scarce capacity due to data traffic growth
Converged infrastructure?
> Extend the MPLS network with Ethernet simplicity and scalability
Reduce control plane requirements at the edge of the network where it has the most impact
> PBB/PBT edge becomes simple, low cost infrastructure for all layer 2/3 services Other Considerations > Does it make sense to deploy the complexity and cost of MPLS in a metro or regional network? > What skill set is required to engineer and operate an MPLS metro?
