Abstract

There is no doubt that today's communications infrastructure for telecommunications, industrial industries, including critical infrastructure such as the Public Switches Telephone Network (PSTN), are migrating toward an all packet-based transport network. As noted by Force10 Networks in a 2009 white paper, “Once viewed solely as a new high-speed interface for data services, Ethernet is now broadly accepted as a converged-layer technology for delivering the full array of packet-based voice, video and data services” (Force10 Networks, Inc., 2009). This statement rings true even in mission-critical infrastructures such as the electric utilities.
