Carrier Challenges Transport Capacity Time How to Cope up with the growth in backhaul bandwidth requirements ? What is the best way to transport ? How do I provide more stringent SLA, Fault Management, Performance Monitoring? Should I have single infrastructure for residential and business customers ? How do I keep the cost (CAPEX and OPEX) under check ? Nadi, Fiji, 16 -17 September 2009 11

Transport Technologies Trends 100% Data Carrier. Ethernet over Fiber Carrier. Ethernet over NG-SDH Legacy SDH ATM over SDH Carrier-Ethernet over Fiber (With Synchronization With Circuit-emulation) Carrier.

Carrier Ethernet- a Good Case in Point of Standards Ethernet history 1976 – Invented by Metcalfe & Boggs as LAN transport technology. Published paper: “Ethernet: Distributed Packet-Switching for Local Computer Networks”; CSMA/CD defined 1980 - the DIX (DEC, Intel, Xerox) "blue book" Ethernet specification was published. 1985 IEEE 802. 3, the Ethernet standard published – 10 Mbps. 1995 – 100 Mbps. 1997 – 98 Gig E 2001– 5 10 Gigabit Ethernet LAN over fiber Definition of CE as a Service Standard Nadi, Fiji, 16 -17 September 2009 13

Carrier Ethernet Defined Carrier Ethernet • 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 • Standardized Services Carrier Ethernet Attributes • Scalability • Service Management • Reliability • Quality of Service Source: MEF Nadi, Fiji, 16 -17 September 2009 14

Which technology for backhaul? Hierarchical Qo. S to distinguish between Control and Data traffic Hierarchy is built-in Dynamic Protection (no user-defined work and protect paths) PBB+ERPS for connection-less protection, Shortest Path Bridging Any-to-any connectivity with multicast -support Qo. S for various traffic-profiles (Data, Voice, Video) Fundamental feature of Ethernet Statistical Multiplexing Point-to-point connections from Access to Controller Natively provided through 802. 1 p Carrier. Ethernet Fundamental feature of Ethernet Traffic-Engineered (user-defined) point-topoint connections through PBB-TE Sub-50 ms protection for voice IEEE G. 8031 and G. 8032 for Sub-50 ms protection User-defined work and protect paths Option for NMS-provisioned paths Fast and automated Fault-detection and isolation IEEE and ITU-T: CFM-OAM, Eth. OAM, EFM-OAM Nadi, Fiji, 16 -17 September 2009 15

Which Technology for Backhaul?

Summary- Standards and Innovation Large Opportunity for emerging Economies Provides for a way to leap frog technology A large eco system of Providers of solutions and products with Standards Reuse of Known Hardware and Software Technology Building blocks Nadi, Fiji, 16 -17 September 2009 17

Summary – Trickle Up Innovation "The dominant logic holds that innovation comes from the U. S. , goes to Europe and Japan, then gravitates to poor countries, " says C. K. Prahalad, a strategy professor at the University of Michigan's Ross School of Business and author of The Fortune at the Bottom of the Pyramid: Eradicating Poverty Through Profits. "But now we're starting to see a reversal of that flow. " Nadi, Fiji, 16 -17 September 2009 18
