Course Description Carrier Ethernet is a ubiquitous, standardized; carrier-class SERVICE defined by five attributes that distinguish Carrier Ethernet from familiar LAN based Ethernet. It brings the compelling business benefit of the Ethernet cost model to achieve significant savings. Service providers worldwide are migrating their existing networks to deliver Carrier Ethernet services to Enterprises, businesses & residential end-users. This course provides an in-depth look at the protocols, services and infrastructure for Carrier Ethernet providers and vendors
