Metro Ethernet – A New Form of Internet

Metro Ethernet is defined as the computer network which depends on the Ethernet and has a wide coverage in the metropolitan places. In this system the local area networks commonly known as LANs and the individual users are connected to a wide area networks WAN or to the internet. The cost effectiveness, reliability, scalability and bandwidth management are some of the key points which make this form one of the best internet services in the country.

Ethernet is used over a wide range in the corporate and government services, colleges, universities, schools. It offers remarkably high bandwidth with a fine granularity that you can’t get with the traditional SDH. One more advantage of the Ethernet based access network can easily be connected to the subscriber network due to its extensive usage in the corporate and academic sector.

Cost effectiveness, the ease at which it can be used and usage flexibility are some of the hallmark of qualities which gravitates the users towards it. The subscriber and the service provider both have an advantage when the Ethernet is associated with Metropolitan Area Network. The Ethernet is extensively used in all the networking end products which lowers down the cost required for equipment and also the service cost owing to its cost effectiveness.

The Ethernet is available widely on a standard interface. To simplify things further all the hosts and equipments are connected to a single network and also you do not have to study about the IP and the other related protocols and this makes Ethernet so preferred over other internet services.

The Ethernet is a very pliable solution as the subscribers have a chance to increase their bandwidth in terms of ours or minutes and also its not a necessity for a user to purchase the equipment or technical assistance for these changes to take effect. Ethernet is available in a wide variety of forms – Pure Ethernet, Ethernet over SDH, Ethernet over DWDM and Ethernet over MPLS. In all this, the Pure Ethernet is the cheapest of all but it cannot be used over a wide scale.

Initially the problem with Ethernet was that it was tough to maintain the reclusive traffic and therefore to implement the private circuits was not a very feasible option. Ethernet MAN solved the problem as it allowed a transparent channeling of the traffic through virtual LANs. Soon privatization of the user’s traffic was made possible.

There are many providers offering the Ethernet and some have also taken it many places. The number of subscribers are growing at lightning rate as they are able to get a quality internet service wherever they go.
