Carrier Ethernet 2.0 Features:
Standardized Multiple Classes Of Service
Why Deploy Multi-CoS for Carrier Ethernet?
• Allows better network utilization;
• Allows better network monetization;
• Provides better application performance;
• Enables service differentiation;
• Some customers demand it.

BRKSPG-2720 © 2014 Cisco and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved. Cisco Public
Why Deploy Standardized Multi-CoS Model?
• Industry expertise;
• Simple yet flexible model;
• Common terminology;
• Consistency;
• Reference values for Service-Level-Specifications (SLS).

Classes of Services And Performance Tiers

• Performance Tiers and Service Level Specifications (SLS):


– Performance Tiers provide pre-defined SLS metrics and values.
• There are 4 Performance Tiers*:
– PT1: Metro (250 km / 155 mi)
– PT2: Regional (1,200 km / 745 mi)
– PT3: Continental (7,000 km / 4,350 mi)
– PT4: Global (27,500 km / 17,090 mi)

• May be applied to an EVC or OVC.

*Note: Distances are provide as reference.
