Ccna routing and Switching Complete Study Guide

Metro Ethernet    Metropolitan-area Ethernet is a metropolitan area network (MAN) 

that’s based on Ethernet standards and can connect a customer to a larger network and 

the Internet. If available, businesses can use Metro Ethernet to connect their own offices 

together, which is another very cost-effective connection option. MPLS-based Metro 

Ethernet networks use MPLS in the ISP by providing an Ethernet or fiber cable to the cus-

tomer as a connection. From the customer, it leaves the Ethernet cable, jumps onto MPLS, 

and then Ethernet again on the remote side. This is a smart and thrifty solution that’s very 

popular if you can get it in your area.
