• Massive subscriber base
7.9 Billion Subscribers Worldwide
12 Billion Devices

• Fundamental shift in device usage

Voice traffic (minutes) decline
Data / Video traffic (youtube, facebook, myspace, etc) increase means exponential traffic increase
http://www.fiercewireless.com/story/verizon-att-others-watch-minutes-use-decline-while-data-revenues-balloon/2011-06-29

• Demand creating shift in access capacity

1G -> 2G -> 3G -> 3.5G/4G/LTE
Smaller / more distributed cell model (femto cell, pico cell)

• Emerging technologies: Mobile to mobile data increases

• Mobile providers trying to find a way to offload data locally

• Need to optimize the backhaul network to reduce cost

© 2010 Cisco and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved. Cisco Confidential 11
• Change in access delivery model
dedicating bandwidth / unused bandwidth – read: SONET -> Packet
Network optimization through statistical multiplexing and reduced overhead
Access port size – 100M -> 1G -> 10G -> ?

• Service Providers must respond to market conditions

Corresponding decrease in cost per port
Need to optimize and automate where possible to reduce opex
Combine disparate networks that were purpose built
Need to provide enhanced customer visibility and make it easy to buy additional service
More complex QoS models and services to differentiate

• Competitive Market
Service providers must respond to market conditions

• Core network optimization (Lean Core, Thin Core)

Many moving to 100G

© 2010 Cisco and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved. Cisco Confidential 12
• Move to packet based Voice
Many legacy voice based services that in the past required synchronous transport have moved to
IP/packet. (Class 5 switching, interconnect, SS7, PBX, etc.)

• IP Video
Video distribution networks that in the past may have been connected via OCn and transported over
SONET are now packet based, commonly using 10GE.

• Mobile devices
Mobile computing (Smart phones, Tablets, Laptops/Wireless)

• Explosive growth in bandwidth consumption

Business access, Residential access, Video, Cloud, Internet, etc.

• MPLS: a set of protocols used to create Label Switched Paths through a network
• Also includes OAM tools to manage and maintain those LSPs

• Service Providers leverage MPLS Technologies in two primary ways:

• To Transport packets through the network
• To create Services such as VPNs

• Over the last 10-12 years we’ve glued Transport (TDM/Optical) and Services (IP) together

• Bandwidth Demand, Ethernet Ubiquity, and Cost are driving us toward full convergence:

A single set of protocols to unite Packet Services and Transport Infrastructure
