GE ADM-based Ethernet
service transmission solution
by Michael Xiong
Today, both services and networks are more and more IP-based. Considering such issues as the
development trend of MAN, service capacity, transport distance, performance/price ratio, GE has
become the mainstream interface for metropolitan broadband data network interworking. In the
face of mass GE interworking, it becomes more and more important to create a solution for
transportation and build a manageable, operational, low-cost, and QoS guaranteed carrier-class
metropolitan network.

However, this fails to handle the problem
