Ethernet Bandwidth Growing like Wildfire

This past week we attended Ethernet Expo 2012 in Manhattan. It's extremely impressive how rapidly vast bandwidth increases and other improvements are being made in Ethernet carrier service. Not only will carriers soon be extending Ethernet services well into the Gigabit range but also the new Carrier Ethernet 2.0 (CE 2.0) standard presents significant improvements. One of the features that it standardizes is Multiple Classes of Service (Multi-CoS). Multi-CoS eliminates the current problems of connecting networks of different carriers when CoS is being used. In summary, a new generation of Ethernet carrier service is upon us. Although availability of various Ethernet services is spreading very quickly, only limited services are available in many parts of the country. If you would like to see which services are available at your location(s), check out the Fast-E and Gigabit Ethernet Service Search Engine.
