Access nodes are the demarcation point between the
subscriber and the service provider network. They are Ethernet Layer 2 devices
usually located in central offices, as part of outside plant, or in the basements
of multitenant buildings and are owned and managed by the service provider.
The access nodes provide different UNI options, subscriber and service multiplexing,
and special functions for supporting triple-play services.
The Carrier Ethernet Aggregation Network is composed
of aggregation and distribution nodes deployed in various physical topologies,
most popular being rings and hub and spoke. The aggregation node provides an
intermediate aggregation and multiplexing layer between the access and the
edge network layers.
