PBB-TE and MPLS each have their place in the network. By reducing complexity and using native Ethernet, PBB-TE enables cost-effective carrier-grade access and aggregation in the metro.

…wireless broadband service provider, the answer to the wireless backhaul portion of their growing network was to use PBB-TE to replace their older spanning tree architecture. PBB-TE, short for Provider Backbone Bridging - Traffic Engineering, is a connection-oriented Ethernet technology that brings…
