End-users are increasingly seeking customizable services from their service provider. They not only expect higher bandwidth connectivity services to support demanding applications, but also want the bandwidth delivered at greater levels of granularity. Their need for tailored bandwidth encompasses much more than simply data. Service providers need to provide support for data, voice, and video traffic meeting customers' expectations and applications.
