Providing Resilience for Carrier Ethernet Multicast Traffic

摘要

This paper presents an overview of the Carrier Ethernet technology with specific focus on resilience. In particular, we detail how multicast traffic, which is essential for e.g. IPTV can be protected. We present Carrier Ethernet resilience methods for linear and ring networks and show by simulation that the availability of a multicast connection can be significantly increased by applying relevant resilience techniques.
