Connecting the World with One Common Language: MEF President, Nan Chen, Explains How One Obscure IT Industry Forum Rose to Transform Global Telecommunications
Free market advocates dwell on the innate creativity and dynamism of a competitive economy – it’s the way nature works, after all. But it takes time for a healthy ecology to emerge from a tangle of weeds and, in the fast-evolving IT landscape, you sometimes get groups of competing vendors realizing that, for a more solid foundation, there’s a real need for common standards or definitions.
That’s what happened in 2001, when a group of network vendors and providers saw that, while Ethernet had risen to dominate the enterprise LAN space, it had also resulted in islands of data that could only be connected via relatively inflexible WAN protocols. A typical enterprise might have several Ethernet LANs at sites across town – so what was stopping them from linking via Ethernet itself to create one big corporate Metro Area Network?
In the late nineties, the IEEE developed 1 and 10Gbps Ethernet standards that could now physically reach across a metro area but nothing was changed to make it suitable for business or carrier-class wide area networking. It offered an attractively simple technology with ever-increasing bandwidth, but needed additional attributes if it was to compete with relatively sophisticated WAN technologies like Frame Relay and ATM.
