The backhaul portion of the network is comprised of intermediate links
between the core network and the small sub-networks at the "edge" of the
entire hierarchical network. This is a critical area because it is the
side of the network that communicates with the global Internet. This
practical resource serves as a comprehensive guide to designing mobile
Ethernet backhauling (MEBH) services in metro areas using carrier Ethernet
(CE) architecture. For the first time in any book, you find detailed
advice on how to put together the many elements of the CE toolbox to
create a coherent working design for a specific MEBH service. Like solving
a difficult jigsaw puzzle, you learn how all the CE components and
standards interact and gain knowledge of their interdependencies. You also
gain insight into the tradeoffs and consequences associated with selection
of specific components for a particular project.
