Summary:
We propose and experimentally demonstrate a packet-aware transport system that effectively supports both Ethernet services and legacy TDM service over existing SONET/SDH based service provider networks. The proposed transport system has a connection-oriented configuration operating packet switch basis and provides L2 VPN service and premium multimedia service based on MPLS protocol. Through the use of VCGs provisioned by centralized control plane, we can effectively provide QoS guaranteed Ethernet service, leased line service, and best-effort service in a single link. The SONET/SDH based OAM and protection scheme ensure Ethernet services of high reliability required in the broadband transport networks.
