With the aid of recent protocol enhancements in the areas of management and monitoring, a growing number of network service providers are adding new Ethernet-based access solutions to their product portfolios, alongside traditional enterprise services. This note describes:

  • The advantages of Ethernet as an enterprise broadband access solution.
  • A description of Ethernet services currently available to enterprises.
  • A cost analysis of Ethernet-based access vs. T1 lines.

Due to significantly lower per bit bandwidth costs and more flexible service and bandwidth provisioning, enterprises should investigate Ethernet as a high value alternative to existing broadband network connectivity services.
