Carrier Ethernet Industry Voices

The European Advanced Networking Test Center in  collaboration with ancotel and Light Reading is pleased to introduce the third phase in a campaign to  validate Carrier Ethernet Global Interconnect.

We specifically showcase end-to-end services across  multiple carriers using the External Network-Network Interface (ENNI) standard as specified by the Metro  Ethernet Forum (MEF). The interoperability program is  supported by the MEF.

The third phase testing will take place in August and September. Results will be published at Light Reading Ethernet Expo (New York City, November 2010) covering the following areas:

• Checking liveliness of a service, using advanced Connectivity Fault Management (CFM) solutions
• Monitoring the end-to-end performance of a wholesale Carrier Ethernet service, identifying bottlenecks
• Creating class of service mappings and adhering to proper bandwidth profiles per class
