Multidwelling or Ethernet-to-the-Subscriber Network

Metro Ethernet provides the access technology for service providers deploying voice, video, and Internet
access services to metropolitan areas. The Metro Ethernet user-facing provider edge (UPE) switches
provide economical bandwidth and the security and the QoS needed for these services.
Figure 1-1
Cisco ME 3400 Ethernet Access switches connected through 1000BASE-X SFP module ports. Cisco ME
switches used as residential switches provide customers with high-speed connections to the service
provider point-of presence (POP).
Home access gateways are connected to the ME switches through UNIs configured as 802.1Q trunks.
Because the default behavior on UNIs allows no local switching between UNI ports, the subscribers are
protected from each other. UNIs also do not process control protocols from customers, so
