Ethernet Investment Issues Switched vs Dedicated Architectures Customer perception of Ethernet Customers simply want an Ethernet service at a lower cost This provides the basis for the industry response Network Virtualization (switched) drives end-to-end value and efficiency for providers and clients Direct support for Cloud methodology adoption Closer link between cost and consumption Lower equipment costs; customer, edge and core However, the price/performance trade-off remains in effect Economic balancing act Real differences remain between Switched Ethernet and Ethernet over SONET Within Switched Ethernet, differences abound in configuration and provisioning standards Proprietary & Confidential Level 3 Communications, LLC.
