Product Description
Understand and evaluate the delivery of Carrier Ethernet using different technologies Carrier Ethernet is rapidly becoming the de facto platform for offering the next generation of high-bandwidth multimedia applications. Delivering Carrier Ethernet: Extending Ethernet Beyond the LAN provides, for the very first time, an in-depth assessment of the various network solutions that can be used to deliver Carrier Ethernet services. The book is based on extensive real-world deployments and is written by globally renowned experts. A standard solution framework is used consistently throughout to address each underlying technology, its benefits and pitfalls, deployment approaches, ongoing developments, economic assessments, and key vendors promoting the solution. The potential evolution of Carrier Ethernet itself is also considered in detail.

Can't wait until carrier Ethernet knocks on my door September 26, 2008
I bought the book without really being interested in the topic of carrier Ethernet in the beginning. I just wanted to learn a little bit more about all the buzzwords that I hear (SONET, MPLS, ...). But as I started reading, I realized what a great potential this topic has.
After some introduction, for each technology there is a chapter that explains how it works and what the potential is. It is easy to skip chapters that are already known or not interesting. The description is just an overview. For a real deployment, of course more documentation would be needed. But that is not the focus of the book.
Those guys who are interested how Ethernet and VoIP will look like in a few years should take the time and check this book out.

Delivering Carrier Ethernet is an excellent text on the subject. It is well structured, reviewing Ethernet fundamentals, and providing a templeted view of all the EoEverything technologies, without resorting to detailed protocol analysis. It has a good context of the evolution, and technologies. I've been in the carrier provider business for over 20 years, and this is a good as it gets. Multiple contribuors helps - nobody can be an expert across all these developing areas.
