Carrier Ethernet is a standardized, scalable and reliable data transport service that combines the flexibility of Ethernet with carrier-grade operational management, service protection and Quality of Service capabilities, making it suitable for various enterprise services such as banking, healthcare and government services.
The growing popularity of Carrier Ethernet as a WAN technology for backhaul, next-generation enterprise and wholesale connectivity has driven the need for Metro Ethernet Forum’s (MEF) Carrier Ethernet (CE) certification. The CE 2.0 certification standard offers a wide range of services with different service tier options and improved operational management. This allows businesses to have greater multi-vendor deployments, speed up Ethernet services provisioning and enjoy more reliable connections with premium SLAs and troubleshooting. The newer CE 3.0 standard builds on this foundation by focusing on even better performance and automated service management.
Tejas platforms support advanced Carrier Ethernet standards such as ITU-T G.8032 (Ethernet Ring Protection Switching), ITU-T G.8031 (Ethernet Line Protection Switching), IEEE 802.3ah Ethernet OAM, IEEE 802.1ag Service Layer OAM and ITU-T Y.1731 for performance monitoring. Tejas products are CE 3.0 compliant. This ensures that they seamlessly integrate with today’s cloud-based applications and services. In addition, Tejas platforms also support MPLS-TP for transport-style provisioning over a pre-defined path, with superior multiple fiber-cut resilience options that were previously only possible with SDH/ SONET networks.
