Recent advances in Ethernet technology now make it possible for carriers to deliver high-speed Ethernet services over ordinary local loop copper wiring. Most of these advances are evolutionary, some are revolutionary. The major breakthroughs are in the area of bonding, which is the technique used to combine multiple copper pairs in a seamless fashion to deliver bandwidth incrementally and on-demand. Some of the advances leverage existing Ethernet provisions to enhance service differentiation in the metropolitan area. And the remaining advances involve management capabilities in the demanding carrier environment.
