A Metropolitan Ethernet Network (MEN) Testbed
This paper describes the project, the development and deployment of a Metro Ethernet Network in the city of Morungaba, SP, Brazil. The Ethernet is a widely deployed technology that has proved its robustness and cost-effectiveness. The Ethernet standards guarantee transmission rates from 10Mbps to 10,000Mbps. When used in the scope of the Metropolitan Network, the Ethernet standard can allow the increase of network capacity very cost-effectively. In conjunction with the new WDM technology, Ethernet has the potential to power the changes of paradigm long waited in the Telecommunication Industry arena by allowing the convergence of Telecom services toward the Global Internet.
