Riverstone Networks 7450 - Manual (Page 11)

by the Alcatel-Lucent 5620 Service Aware Manager.
These tools allow the service provider to isolate faults
and provision services quickly, with an end-to-end
perspective, rather than time-consuming connection-
by-connection, element-by-element fault tracing and
provisioning, which are prone to error.
Ethernet also has the potential to provide huge savings
in OPEX, compared to legacy services. Ethernet services
can be upgraded remotely from the network operations
center, without a truck roll. Services from 1 Mb/s to
100 Mb/s or from 100 Mb/s to 1 Gb/s can be offered in
fine increments without changing the physical interface.
This flexibility enables service providers to tailor their
offering to their customer’s exact requirements. For
more information on Alcatel-Lucent’s analysis of the
business case for VPLS, see the publication Delivering
Profitable Virtual Private LAN Services, available at

upgrades were 69% to 83% for E-LAN services,

such as VLL, compared to legacy services.
