Title

Packet Transport for the Future Internet

Abstract

The enormous growth of bandwidth needs and the constant revenues of the carriers at the same time re- quire the introduction of packet technologies in transport networks. The extension of Ethernet with carrier-grade features is a promising approach to provide necessary characteristics like scalability, quality of service, and operations, administration, and maintenance. Interesting technological aspects are multi-layer and multi-domain operation of these packet transport networks and their control via Generalized MPLS. A possible solution can be seen in a function split where IP stays the convergence platform for applications and services and Ethernet becomes the convergence platform for transport.
