Description

Insight’s use of the term “public Ethernet” refers to any Layer 2 public network carrier service that extends Ethernet beyond the LAN (local area network) and connects to customers across Ethernet interfaces. Public Ethernet may be marketed as transparent or native LAN, Ethernet, gigabit Ethernet, GigE (gigabit Ethernet), metro Ethernet, Ethernet private line (EPL), Ethernet virtual private line (EVPL), Layer 2 virtual private network (VPN), Ethernet access, VPLS (virtual private LAN service), or a variety of other names. Insight’s definition does not, however, include routed Layer 3 IP-VPN services, which also can be described as carrying IP (Internet protocol) over Ethernet. Our use of the phrase “public Ethernet services” includes relatively longstanding, upgraded, legacy transparent or native LAN services, whether asynchronous transfer mode (ATM)-based within the network core or using an Ethernet over fiber or a synchronous optical network (SONET) architecture. Our definition also includes newer services from small and large carriers that variously deliver end-to-end Ethernet directly over optical fiber.

Highlights

US public Ethernet revenues grew from $6.0 billion in 2014 to a projected $9.8 billion in 2019 at a CAGR of 10 percent. This grand total, however, incorporates a double-count in that “sell-through” wholesale Ethernet service is counted at two points, both paid by end-users to carriers for a service and the amount carriers pay other carriers to provide that same service.
