…-oriented Ethernet, the G10 modules initially support provisioned VLAN cross-connects and will support Provider Backbone Bridging-Traffic Engineering (PBB-TE) as it gets closer to standardization by the IEEE. "Converged Ethernet infrastructure is much more than simply putting more services across one network…

…rules and service portfolios. The adoption of emerging forms of Ethernet transport solutions such as traffic-engineered provider backbone bridging (PBB-TE), VLAN stacking (or Q-in-Q), Ethernet pseudowires and VPLS underscores this trend. In response to the expanding role of Ethernet in carrier networks…
