• Hard QoS and Traffic Engineering
• Better bandwidth utilization/Scalability
• Protection Switching (50ms)
• OAM functions and TDM Support
• Any-to-Any VPN services
• Multicast support with Hard QoS

Supporting TV Distribution Service
1. Multicast tree(s) is(are) established with QoS guaranteed
2. Subscribers (the Set-Top-Box) sends request for a channel
3. Carrier Ethernet filters, only replicates and forwards the requested channel to the subscribers
4. Video source protection and network protection are set up automatically upon requirement

Supporting VoD Service
1. An E-LAN connection is established between DSLAMs and VoD servers
2. Subscribers (the Set-Top-Box) sends request to RSM for a movie
3. RSM finds/informs the best VoD server, acknowledge subscribers of such
4. The subscriber establishes RTP and RSTP session with VoD and Command server respectively

Supporting VoIP Service
1. An E-LAN connection is established between WAN routers to build an IP WAN
2. An E-LAN connection is established between the DSLAMs and the IP PoP in each metro
3. Caller contacts the SIP Proxy server in order to find the IP address of the called party
4. Caller establishes RTP session with the called party through E-LAN connection

Pipe vs VC – when to use a pipe and when to use a VC
Branches (PIPE)
No branches – user/department monitoring (VCs)
