On providing metro ethernet services over transparent WDM optical rings
IEEE Network, 2011Co-Authors: Gerson Rodríguez De Los Santos, Manuel Urueña, José Alberto Hernández, David LarrabeitiAbstract:The long list of benefits (especially cost and capacity) of ethernet LANs has made the IEEE, the ITU-T, and the metro ethernet forum define the requirements for taking ethernet beyond the local area, toward the metropolitan region. In addition, the ever-increasing traffic demands of new applications and users can only be met by the huge bandwidth capacity provided by optical fibers. This work studies how to provide metro ethernet services over transparent tunable-transmitter fixed-receiver WDM optical ring networks. A new adaptation layer of ME to WDM is proposed, and its benefits and drawbacks are studied. It is shown that such a transparent WDM ring network can be seen as a logical full-mesh topology by the upper ME layer, thus reducing to one the number of optical-electronic-optical conversions per unicast frame. Additionally, two different approaches are proposed in the case of broadcast/multicast traffic, since this may bring scalability difficulties in ring topologies.

A Framework for ethernet Tree (E-Tree) Service over a Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) Network
2014Co-Authors: Raymond Key, Simon Delord, Frederic Jounay, Lucy Yong, Lizhong JinAbstract:This document describes an ethernet-Tree (E-Tree) solution framework for supporting the metro ethernet forum (MEF) E-Tree service over a Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) network. The objective is to provide a simple and effective approach to emulate E-Tree services in addition to ethernet LAN (E-LAN) services on an existing MPLS network.

Extension to LDP-VPLS for E-Tree Using Two PW
2011Co-Authors: Daniel Cohn, Rafi Ram, Puneet Agarwal, Raymond KeyAbstract:This document proposes a solution for metro ethernet forum (MEF) ethernet Tree (E-Tree) support in Virtual Private LAN Service using LDP Signaling (LDP-VPLS) [RFC4762]. The proposed solution is characterized by the use of two PWs between a pair of PEs. This solution is applicable for both VPLS and H-VPLS.
