The
Journal of Optical
Networking (JON) is soliciting papers for a second feature
issue on Optical Ethernet. Ethernet has evolved from a LAN technology connecting
desktop computers to a universal broadband network interface. It is not only the
vehicle for local data connectivity but also the standard interface for
next-generation network equipment such as video servers and IP telephony.
High-speed Ethernet has been increasingly assuming the volume of backbone
network traffic from SONET/SDH-based circuit applications. It is clear that IP
has become the universal network protocol for future converged networks, and
Ethernet is becoming the ubiquitous link layer for connectivity. Network
operators have been offering Ethernet services for several years. Problems and
new requirements in Ethernet service offerings have been captured through
previous experience. New study groups and standards bodies have been formed to
address these problems. This feature issue aims at reviewing and updating the
new developments and R&D efforts of high-speed Ethernet in recent years,
especially those related to the field of optical networking.
Scope of Submission
The scope of the papers includes, but is not
limited to, the following:
- Ethernet PHY development
- 10-Gbit Ethernet on multimode fiber
- Native Ethernet transport and Ethernet on legacy networks
- EPON
- Ethernet OAM
- Resilient packet ring (RPR) and Ethernet
- QoS definition and management on Ethernet
- Ethernet protection switching
- Circuit emulation services on Ethernet
- Transparent LAN service development
- Carrier VLAN and Ethernet
- Ethernet MAC frame expansion
- Ethernet switching
- High-speed Ethernet applications
- Economic models of high-speed Ethernet services
- Ethernet field deployment and standard activities
Manuscript Submission
To submit to this special issue, follow the
normal procedure for submission to JON, indicating "Optical Ethernet feature" in
the "Comments" field of the online submission form. For all other questions
relating to this feature issue, please send an e-mail to jon@osa.org, subject
line "Optical Ethernet."
