Multi-Vendor Metro Ethernet Services Demo Planned for SuperComm

The Metro Ethernet Forum (MEF) will host a multi-vendor interoperability demonstration of carrier-grade metro Ethernet services at the upcoming SUPERCOMM exhibition in Atlanta. The interoperability demo consists of 22 company specific access (aggregation) networks interconnected via a 10G Ethernet switched core. The 22 equipment suppliers will demonstrate E-Line (Ethernet Line) and E-LAN (Ethernet LAN) services, which were recently defined by the Metro Ethernet Forum. The interoperable E-Line and E-LAN services will carry webcam video at a committed information rate (CIR) of 10 Mbps as well as transparent LAN connectivity at 20 Mbps.
