Understanding MetroEthernet
If I understand companies that have multiple branches geographically spread over different areas can subscribe to a WAN service provider that will enable the branches to communicate with each other as if they were in one Network location.
Well from the Client Edge to Provider Edge I have heard of metroethernet , does that mean it is like connecting Cat5 or cat6 cable between CE and PE ?
if so, we still can use the term of MetroEthernet regardless of what technology the WAN provider is using inside the WAN ?
I initially thought there is a WAN technology call Metroethernet ,just like Frame-Relay and MPLS.
Thanks

It is just the connection between CE and PE that is called Metroethernet
The only WAN clouds I have heard of are Frame Relay and MPLS
