This article describes Ethernet passive optical networks, an emerging local subscriber access architecture that combines low-cost point-to-multipoint fiber infrastructure with Ethernet. EPONs are designed to carry Ethernet frames at standard Ethernet rates. An EPON uses a single trunk fiber that extends from a central office to a passive optical splitter, which then fans out to multiple optical...

The demand on MACsec in Ethernet is increasing substantially since fits well for industrial applications which require strong security as efficiency. To provide a long-term security, the protocol should be resistant to future attacks including quantum attacks. In this paper, analysed under attack scenario. achieve 128-bit AES (Advanced Encryption Standard) algorithms defined mandate use 256-bit...

Simplicity, cost effectiveness, scalability, and the economies of scale make Ethernet a popular choice for (a) local area networks (LAN), as well as for (b) storage area networks (SAN), and increasingly (c) metropolitan-area networks (MAN). Applications of Ethernet in SAN and MAN arena elevate it from a LAN technology to a ubiquitous networking technology. With the expanded applicability of Eth...

This report describes our work detailing the operation and performance of TCP-based transport protocols (Reno, BIC, and CTCP) on “Layer-1” circuits, in which a Gigabit Ethernet port on an end host has been directly mapped to a SONET circuit of lower rate (e.g., a 155 Mbps OC3). The switch uses IEEE 802.3x flow control to prevent the sender from overwhelming the switch’s buffer. Current equipmen...

The Ethernet standard is a standard solution for interconnecting industrial devices despite its intrinsic drawbacks, particularly its nondeterministic medium access method. Many Ethernet-based commercial solutions available (COTS Components Off the Shelves) on the market guarantee time performance. This means that user selection of one particular solution is a critical decision, but the choice ...

The definition of the IEEE 802.1Q and IEEE 802.1p standards provided Class of Service (CoS) capabilities to Ethernet networks and, consequently, allowed new QoS services to be deployed. This is used by the Subnet Bandwidth Management (SBM) protocol, an RSVP-based protocol that provides IntServ-like services at Ethernet level. This paper proposes an alternative way to quality of service provisio...

This document describes procedures for BGP MPLS-based Ethernet VPNs (EVPN). The procedures described here meet the requirements specified in RFC 7209 -"Requirements for Ethernet VPN (EVPN)".

This article deals with two mechanisms for time synchronization over Ethernet networks, the “IEEE 1588 standard for a precision clock synchronization protocol for networked measurement and control systems” and the “synchronized universal time coordinated” technology. It presents a prototype system, which supports both synchronization mechanisms by offering dedicated hardware support on Ethernet...
