When Ethernet first began being deployed in carrier networks, it was widely regarded as a ‘disruptive technology’. Being a ‘disruptive technology’ implies that Ethernet is not just to a clever new technology, but one that both delivers to some new set of promises and undermines or replaces an existing technology—and which therefore makes life very difficult for the many businesses which depend on the existing way of doing things. Carriers are beginning to deploy Ethernet-based networks and are provisioning Ethernet services, and to some degree it can be argued that some of the ‘disruptive technology’ promises have been delivered. But it could be equally argued that while Ethernet has had its debutante party, it has yet to fully bloom in carrier networks.

With the rise in importance of Residential Broadband, VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol), and increasing pressure to deliver faster internet speeds, the telecommunication industry is close to an inflection point whereupon Ethernet will become vastly more critical in how Carriers will both build their networks and provision new service offerings. This inflection point is already generating new and stringent requirements for network scalability, QoS controls, SLA consistency, network reliability and security, consistent operations and management, and service ubiquity.

The Fujitsu multiservice packet transport strategy plays a critical and unique role meeting these new requirements and how transport is evolving to fit Ethernet networking and services thereby allowing carriers and end users to realize the promise of Ethernet.
