Agenda- Key Hypothesis

Standards Help InnovationInnovation creates enormous Opportunities for Nations- especially emerging NationsCase Study – with Carrier Ethernet and NGN NetworksCall to Action

Nadi, Fiji, 16-17 September 2009 3

Global Telecom Industry - Observations

Huge Growth in Internet and pressure on BackhaulSignificant price pressureNetworks are standards-based- very similar requirements globally

Use of global telecom standards is breaking country/carrier/vendor equation

Emerging markets are driving growthLow tele-density, large unserved population, large geographiesNeeds Latest technology, high quality and lowest

prices

?What is the Transport?

Nadi, Fiji, 16-17 September 2009 11

Carrier Challenges

Should I have single infrastructure for residential and business customers ?

How do I provide more stringent SLA, Fault Management, Performance Monitoring?

How do I keep the cost (CAPEX and OPEX) under check ?

How to Cope up with the growth in backhaul bandwidth requirements ?

What is the best way to transport ?

Carrier Ethernet- a Good Case in Point of Standards

Ethernet history 1976 – Invented by Metcalfe & Boggs as LAN transport technology. Published paper: “Ethernet: Distributed Packet-Switching for Local Computer Networks”; CSMA/CD defined 1980 - the DIX (DEC, Intel, Xerox) "blue book" Ethernet specification was published. 1985 IEEE 802.3, the Ethernet standard published – 10 Mbps. 1995 – 100 Mbps. 1997 – 98 Gig E2001–5 10 Gigabit Ethernet LAN over fiberDefinition of CE as a Service Standard

Carrier Ethernet Defined

• Carrier Ethernet is a ubiquitous, standardized, carrier-class SERVICE defined by five attributes that distinguish Carrier Ethernet from familiar LAN based Ethernet

• It brings the compelling business benefit of the Ethernet cost model to achieve significant savings

Carrier Ethernet

• Scalability

• Standardized Services

• Service Management

• Quality of Service

• Reliability

Which technology for backhaul?

Point-to-point connections from Access to Controller

Sub-50ms protection for voice

User-defined work and protect paths

Fast and automated Fault-detection and isolation

QoS for various traffic-profiles (Data, Voice, Video)

Statistical Multiplexing

Hierarchical QoS to distinguish between Control and Data traffic

Dynamic Protection (no user-defined work and protect paths)

Any-to-any connectivity with multicast-support

Hierarchy is built-in

PBB+ERPS for connection-less protection, Shortest Path Bridging

Fundamental feature of Ethernet

Natively provided through 802.1p

Fundamental feature of Ethernet

Summary – Trickle Up Innovation

"The dominant logic holds that innovation comes from the U.S., goes to Europe and Japan, then gravitates to poor countries," says C.K. Prahalad, a strategy professor at the University of Michigan's Ross School of Business and author of The Fortune at the Bottom of the Pyramid: Eradicating Poverty Through Profits. "But now we're starting to see a reversal of that flow."
