Metro Ethernet Use Cases


Key to provisioning Ethernet QoS, or Metro Ethernet QoS, in ISC QoS is a set of predefined policies that correspond to a variety of typical use cases.

This appendix provides a list of matching predefined policies and use and contains the following sections:

Metro Ethernet Service Type Definitions

In this section, general and QoS specific Metro Ethernet service types are defined.

General Metro Ethernet Service Types

In the Metro Ethernet 3.1 solution, the following service types apply:

Ethernet Relay Service (ERS)—A point-to-point VLAN-based E-Line service, that is used primarily for establishing a point-point connection between customer routers.

Ethernet Wire Service (EWS)—A point-to-point port-based E-Line service that is used primarily to connect geographically remote LANs over an SP network.

Ethernet Multipoint Service (EMS)—A multipoint-to-multipoint port-based E-LAN service that is used for transparent LAN applications.

Ethernet Relay Multipoint Service (ERMS)—A multipoint-to-multipoint VLAN-based E-LAN service that is used primarily for establishing a multipoint-to-multipoint connection between customer routers.

Ethernet Private Line (EPL)—A port-based point-to-point E-Line service that maps Layer 2 traffic directly on to a TDM circuit.

Metro Ethernet QoS Service types

For Metro Ethernet QoS, the following service types are used:

EVC—Best Effort, Business, and/or Real Time QoS on a per EVC Class of Service Identifier.

<EVC + DSCP>—Best Effort, Business, and/or Real Time QoS on a per <EVC, DSCP> Class of Service Identifier.

<EVC + CoS>—Best Effort, Business, and/or Real Time QoS on a per <EVC,CoS> Class of Service Identifier.

Use Cases

In the following tables, ERS and EWS represent ISC L2VPN service and ERMS, whereas EMS represents ISC VPLS service.
