CENX,
which operates a series of Carrier Ethernet exchanges, announced another new milestone in the development of Carrier Ethernet interconnection with the aggregate of over ten million Carrier Ethernet Locations to be accessible through CENX Exchanges. The company reached the five million milestone in March 2010.
Each Ethernet Service Location is an Ethernet serviceable physical location/address, readily searchable, for example, via the CENX Market application.

From the Technology Graveyard
You just read about Carrier Ethernet. Here is what it replaced:
Resilient Packet Ring (RPR) served 2004–2010. What ultimately replaced it?
Resilient Packet Ring (RPR) a dual counter-rotating fiber ring with a fairness MAC that shared bandwidth statistically and healed in under 50 ms - SONET-grade resilience with packet efficiency. Its job passed to Carrier Ethernet — but the problem it solved, and the ideas it proved, live on in what replaced it. The standard rests here in the archive. One of 198 technologies here that opened a door and then held it for the next.
From 25 years of the Converge Digest archive.
