There is a growing demand for native data transport services for enterprises and corporations across public transport networks. Equipment vendors have begun to incorporate a variety of LAN and storage area network interfaces, notably Ethernet, Fibre Channel/FICON, and ESCON, on traditional metro and long-haul transport equipment. Embracing Ethernet and SAN technology enables the introduction of flexible high-capacity transport services optimized for data networking. Transport operators may thus offer both enterprise-centric connectivity services, such as transparent LAN connectivity and virtual LAN services, as well as traditional bandwidth services, such as private lines, while preserving the operations and management infrastructure of the existing public networks. We discuss the benefits of a hybrid Ethernet/TDM transport solution
