Abstract

In choosing a network service technology, a subscriber considers many features such as latency, jitter, packet loss, security, and availability. The most important feature, and usually the one that determines the final selection, is the service availability. In this article, a full spectrum of applications are studied, ranging from the minimal constraints of home networks to the rigorous demands of Industrial Ethernet Networks. This is followed by a thorough examination of Ethernet layer resilience technologies. This paper provides the resilience characteristics that are key for each class of application
