摘要:
A consolidated optical Ethernet network and apparatus are disclosed. In one form a network device includes an aggregation layer access interface operable to access an aggregation layer and a core layer access interface provided in combination with the aggregation layer access interface and operable to access a core layer. The device may be provided within a Multiprotocol Label Switching based Ethernet Optical Network (EON) as a network switch and may allow for efficient access to multiple layers of a network communicating information within the EON.
