Introduction Recently, a number of technologies have emerged for transporting Carrier Ethernet services. One such technology, Provider Backbone Bridging - Traffic Engineering (PBB-TE), addresses several existing challenges of natively extending Ethernet services across a provider's network. Until now ...
