Paper Summary:

This paper explains optical ethernet technology, its technological development, its benefits, and its crucial features. The paper also explains how optical ethernet technology can help service provider companies increase their revenues, thus offering service providers a key business opportunity. The paper explains how the layer 2 connectionless technology, the end-to-end Ethernet nature, and speed of data transfer of optical ethernet technology improve network management efficiency. It also compares the cost of optical ethernet technology to that of ATM (Asynchronous Transfer Mode) or SONET (Synchronous Optical Network), thereby demonstrating the cost effectiveness of the optical ethernet technology.

From the Paper:

"Optical Ethernet is a revolutionary effort in network technology which represents the combination and extension of two existing technologies-Ethernet and Optics. This technology synthesizes the ubiquity, flexibility and simplicity of Ethernet with the reliability and speed of optics in order to create a new networking paradigm that bring a total change in the planning, management and operation of the networks of service providers and corporations. Ethernet since its inception in 1970s have changed to a great extent in the present days. Originally the Ethernet was evolved to provide users with a shared 10 Mbps bandwidth connection using coaxial cables. In its transition Ethernet using unshielded twisted pair offered dedicated 10 Mbps connections using switches."
