Metro Ethernet

   Also found in: Wikipedia 0.06 sec.

A metropolitan area network (MAN) that uses a 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10GbE) backbone rather than SONET/SDH links. Ethernet offers a more economical alternative. In a Metro Ethernet network, multiprotocol label switching (MPLS) may be deployed to provide quality of service (QoS). See MAN, MPLS and 10 Gigabit Ethernet.
