Performance Analysis of Metro Ethernet Network Services over Asynchronous Transfer Mode Services for
Metro Ethernet networks (MENs) technology has provided
economic sustainability to small and big enterprises. Today,
individual and organizations rely on ICT to perform daily
operations. The costs of using these services determine the
accessibility of the users. MEN is flexible to use compare with
other switch network like ATM. In this paper, features of MEN
technology are explored to determine its potentials in terms of
flexible services' delivery to the customers. Also, bandwidth
consumption is minimal even when the network is being
expanded. We modelled and simulated two factors; availability
and reliability for MEN and compare these results with ATM
technology. The MEN technology performs better than ATM
technology according to our results.
