Carrier Ethernet is defined by a number of standards and recommendations from multiple organizations such as the Metro Ethernet Forum, IEEE and  ITU-T. Described simply, Carrier Ethernet enables predictable, cost-effective delivery of a variety of services. The technology standardizes interfaces, formats and baseline performance characteristics and includes many technological advances that set Carrier Ethernet apart from standard Ethernet.  These advances simplify deployment and enable new levels of multi-vendor interoperability.

As a leading vendor in the Carrier Ethernet market, World Wide Packets has developed several distinguishing technological characteristics that we refer to as True Carrier Ethernet. These characteristics build upon the Carrier Ethernet foundation and are realized in features that are deployed throughout the data, control and management planes of our products.  Features such as exceptional performance, scalability, resiliency, and manageability that are unique to the World Wide Packets LightningEdge solution. Features that enable optimal delivery of high-bandwidth Business, Transport and Residential Services.

The documents in this section provide in-depth descriptions of Carrier Ethernet and the specific innovations and capabilities of True Carrier Ethernet  as defined by World Wide Packets.
