Carrier Ethernet demarcation is a key element in Carrier Ethernet services and transport networks for business, wholesale and mobile backhaul applications, as it enables service providers to extend their control over the entire service path, starting from the hand off points.
The IEEE 802.3 standard, which defines all Ethernet variants, for historical reasons still bore the title "Carrier sense multiple access with collision detection (CSMA/CD) access method and physical layer specifications" until 802.3-2008, which uses new name "IEEE Standard for Ethernet".
A metropolitan-area Ethernet, Ethernet MAN, carrier Ethernet [1] or metro Ethernet network is a metropolitan area network (MAN) that is based on Ethernet standards. It is commonly used to connect subscribers to a larger service network or for internet access .
The line that does so is known as a power-line carrier. In the past, power lines were solely used for transmitting electricity. However, with the introduction of advanced networking technologies, there has been a push for utility and service providers to find cost-effective and high-performance solutions.

MEF, founded in 2001, is a nonprofit international industry consortium, of network, cloud, and technology providers. [1] MEF, originally known as the Metro Ethernet Forum, was dedicated to Carrier Ethernet networks and services, and in recent years, significantly broadened its scope, which now includes underlay connectivity services such as Optical, Carrier Ethernet, IP, along with overlay ...
The challenge of carrier Ethernet is to add carrier-grade functionality to Ethernet equipment without losing the cost-effectiveness and simplicity that makes it attractive in the first place. To meet this challenge, common connection-oriented Ethernet solutions have chosen to rid themselves of the complex parts of packet transport to achieve ...
10 Gigabit Ethernet was already used in both enterprise and carrier networks by 2007, with 40 Gbit/s [3] [4] and 100 Gigabit Ethernet [5] ratified. [6] In 2024, the fastest additions to the Ethernet family were 800 Gbit/s variants .
