Understand and evaluate the delivery of Carrier Ethernet using different technologies 
Carrier Ethernet is rapidly becoming the de facto platform for offering the next generation of high-bandwidth multimedia applications. Delivering Carrier Ethernet: Extending Ethernet Beyond the LAN provides, for the very first time, an in-depth assessment of the various network solutions that can be used to deliver Carrier Ethernet services. The book is based on extensive real-world deployments and is written by globally renowned experts. A standard solution framework is used consistently throughout to address each underlying technology, its benefits and pitfalls, deployment approaches, ongoing developments, economic assessments, and key vendors promoting the solution. The potential evolution of Carrier Ethernet itself is also considered in detail.

"What to make of this ranting gasbag named Metcalfe? Turn up the filters, tune in, and listen. You may not like the way he phrases it, but he's actually got some very important things to say and he isn't afraid to say them." ? Vint Cerf Bob Metcalfe is the Internet's resident gadfly and reigning pundit ? a renowned inventor (Ethernet) and entrepreneur (3Com) whose weekly InfoWorld columns skewer pretensions, assault the conventional wisdom, and spit roast sacred cows. This book collects the best of Metcalfe's polemics, predictions, and pronouncements over the last decade ? and pairs them with no-holds-barred rebuttals and commentary by industry heavyweights. The result is vintage Metcalfe: provocative, inflammatory, and insightful. Just a few of Bob Metcalfe's pronouncements over the years... 1991 "Microsoft is abusing its monopoly" 1993 "Wireless computing will flop ? permanently" 1994 "What the Internet needs now is more competition among greedy entrepreneurs" 1995 "I predict the Internet's catastrophic collapse in 1996" 1996 "Everything on the Internet should be strongly encrypted all the time" 1997 "E-postage is a good thing" 1998 "The skunk is, like Microsoft, an exquisite survival machine" 1999 "Linux will fizzle against Windows"
