Hub: • Ethernet frame goes to all ports (port == physical interface) • Necessarily can only run half duplex • No intelligence • Obsolete -- throw them away! • Switching: • Switch "learns" which MAC addresses are on which port • Ethernet frame is forwarded out one port only • No possibility for collisions • Can run full duplex • Routing: • strips off MAC addresses (on Ethernet port) • makes forwarding determination based on IP address and route table • puts on new MAC addresses (if Ethernet)

What’s Carrier Ethernet: defined by the MEF • Protection • 50ms Protection • End to End Path Protection • Aggregated Line & Node Protection • Scalability • Services and Bandwidth • 100,000’s of EVC’s • From Mbps to x10Gbps • Customer data integrity • Hard QoS • Guaranteed end to end SLA • End to End CIR and EIR • Business, Mobile, Residential Carrier Ethernet • Service • Management • Fast service creation • Carrier class OAM capabilities • Customer Network Management (CNM) • TDM Support • Seamless integration of TDM • Circuit Emulation Services • Support existing voice applications
MEF Services Model CustomerEdge (e.g., router) (CE) CustomerEdge (CE) MetroEthernetNetwork ServiceAttributes A service is what the CE sees. The technology used inside the MEN is not visible.
Each Service is a Layer 2 VPN Example showing a green serviceand a blue service. ServiceMultiplexed UNI • Frames from one customer can not leak into another customer’s service • Multiple Services at a UNI is called Service Multiplexing

Each Logical Layer has it’s own set of header information: • Source Identifier • Destination Identifier • Type of Information • Flags • Error handle • Other: VLAN ID (2) • Priority (2) • TOS (3) • Frame Type (2) • IP Version (3) • Sequence Number (4) • Each field can potentially be used to filter, block, control, or prioritize traffic on a network.
Virtual Ethernet LANs • Untagged Ethernet • common, plain vanilla Ethernet framing • Tagged Ethernet • IEEE 802.1Q format • VLANs numbered 0 - 4095 • Includes a priority field (8 bits) 802.1p • Supported by Windows 2000 and later • All devices on LAN must support tagged Ethernet frames • Frame size is slightly larger due to tag bits • Cisco ISL format • Cisco Inter Switch Link • Predates IEEE standard • Generally obsolete except in Cisco-only world • Service Provider tagging (Stacked tagging) • ITU / IEEE / Metro Ethernet Forum defined • Adds another Ethernet header in front of standard (customer) Ethernet frame
