Bandwidth to Support Convergence
Convergence means combining or converging voice, data and video onto a single network. Enterprises usually need to expand their LAN bandwidth and set up a QoS or Quality of Service priority system to give priority to real-time streams such as telephone calls or video conference feeds, which are more sensitive to network delays than data transfers. Most often, the common protocol for convergence is IP.

Carrier Ethernet is Available Now
Carrier Ethernet Services are already available in major metropolitan areas from competitive carriers such as XO Communications. You can order 10 Mbps Ethernet, 100 Mbps Fast Ethernet or Gigabit Ethernet connections to match your current network bandwidth.

What is PBT?
PBT stands for Provider Backbone Transport. It's an adaption of Ethernet to extend Layer-2 switching into the WAN transport network. PBT was pioneered by Nortel and will be standardized by the IEEE as PBB-TE.

How does Spanning Tree Protocol work?
STP or Spanning Tree Protocol is a technique used by Ethernet switches to ensure that there is one and only one physical path from source to destination. This is done to prevent forwarding loops.

What is Mid-Band Ethernet?
Mid-Band Ethernet is a WAN or Wide Area Network technology that delivers 2 to 45 Mbps over existing copper pair wiring. This bandwidth range falls neatly in between T1 lines at 1.5 Mbps and DS3 service, usually provided over fiber optic carriers, at 45 Mbps. As a native Ethernet delivery system, mid-band Ethernet offers an easy way to extend the corporate network beyond the premises.
