Large switched Ethernet networks are deployed in campus networks, data centers and
metropolitan area networks to support various types of services. Congestion is usually …

Ethernet has grown from its roots in the home and office environment to contend in
previously uncharted territory of MANs and WANs. However, deploying Ethernet in MAN …

Ethernet is gaining in importance in both access and metro networks. As a layer 2
technology, Ethernet gives a basic framework for routing, QoS and traffic engineering (TE) …

Spanning tree protocol (STP) is an IEEE approved standard that provides a loop-free
forwarding topology in Ethernet networks. When we deal with large scale networks, we need …

Ethernet networks rely on Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) that guarantees a loop-free tree
topology in the network. STP does this task by pruning the redundant links. This protocol …

Ethernet-based networking technology is popular choice for local area networks. One
weakness of existing Ethernet architecture is its use of spanning tree protocol (STP) that …

The flexibility, scalability, simplicity and low cost of Ethernet technology makes it an ideal
networking technology for Metro networks. However, the new Ethernet-based solutions must …

Ethernet is evolving from a plug-and-play LAN technology towards a carrier grade WAN
technology. In order to support Service Level Agreements (SLA) over Public Ethernets …

IEEE 802.1 s multiple spanning tree protocol (MSTP) is part of a family of standards for local
and metropolitan area networks based on Ethernet protocol. MSTP allows a set of regions to …

Recently, a new global open Ethernet (GOE) architecture was proposed as a cost-effective
scalable solution for the next generation of VPNs over an optical network infrastructure. In …
