End-to-end service provisioning in carrier-grade ethernet networks: The 100 GET-E3 approach

Abstract

This paper presents and discusses issues of multi-domain, end-to-end service provisioning in Ethernet core networks from the perspective of the 100GET-E3 project, a German subproject under the umbrella of the CELTIC research initiative 100GET (ldquo100 Gigabit Ethernet Technologiesrdquo). We propose several multi-domain service provisioning scenarios in IEEEpsilas Provider Backbone Bridging Traffic Engineering (PBB-TE) networks.
