Summary
GFP Advantages
Versatility: Enables transport services for either Layer 1 or
Layer payloads:
PPP, IP, MPLS, Ethernet, HDLC & MAPOS at Layer 2
Fibre Channel, FICON, ESCON, Infiniband, DVB ASI at Layer 1
Endorsed by multiple communities including IEEE RPR WG & IETF
Scalability: Demonstrate transport capabilities at rates from
10Mbps to 10Gbps (and soon beyond)
Simplicity: Eliminates need for ATM and HDLC networking
for simple connectivity services resulting in more efficient,
lower-risk component designs
Component availability: Broader user demand expected to
drive future applications, feature maturity, interface
commonality and lower cost
