Metro Ethernet Services in Numbers

• Metro Ethernet services will replace legacy
  services
• Worldwide metro Ethernet services revenue will
  reach 26B in 2006
• Asia will be the leading region with 50-60 of
  all revenues, followed by Europe and then North
  America.

Metro Ethernet Transport in Numbers

• Ethernet, surpassing SONET/SDH in 2004, is
  becoming the next generation optical technology
• Optical Ethernet becomes a viable metro transport
  to deliver metro services
• Asia dominates metro Ethernet equipment capital
  expenditure

MEF Priorities and Scope

• The primary priorities of the MEF are to define
• a. Ethernet Services for metro transport networks
  
• Such services shall be delivered over native
  Ethernet-based Metro networks and could also be
  supported by other transport technologies.
• b. Carrier-class Ethernet-based metro transport
  technologies by specifying architecture,
  protocols and management for Ethernet-based metro
  transport networks
• The secondary priorities of the MEF are (when
  deemed necessary) to define
• a. Work to be done by other organizations on
  other transport technologies (liaison activity)
• b. Non-Ethernet interfaces, if not defined by
  other organizations.
