LONDON -- Nan Chen, President of the Metro Ethernet Forum (MEF) announced today that August 2003 is the target completion month for their key Metro Ethernet Service specifications. Metro Ethernet is one area of IT tipped for outstanding growth, despite the current economic downturn, and both major players and hot start-ups in the telecom arena now have this summer highlighted as a critical turning point. Metro Ethernet Forum (MEF) set this target completion time for both Ethernet Line (point-to-point) Service (E-Line) and Ethernet LAN (multipoint-to-multipoint) Service (E-LAN) specifications across the metropolitan area - removing the final obstacle, the lack of a standardized Ethernet service specification, for a rapid global service revenue predicted to exceed $14 billion by 2005.

Ralph Santitoro and Jay Gill of the Metro Ethernet Forum (MEF) Technical Committee, provide an overview of Metro Ethernet.
The basic model for Ethernet services is shown in Figure 1. Ethernet service is provided by the Metro Ethernet network (MEN) provider. Customer equipment (CE) attaches to the network at the user-network interface (UNI) using a standard 10, 100 or 1000Mbps Ethernet interface. Full Story |
