A Metro Ethernet Network or MAN is a large wired computer network that usually covers a city or metropolitan area. Just like any other LAN and WAN networks, Metro Ethernet applies Carrier Ethernet technology which is the same protocol. Some alteration has been adapted here so that the technology continues to be useful over the large area that is covered by the Metro Ethernet. The purpose of this network is to interconnect smaller networks within the same city as well as connect to the internet. Businesses and institutions that have branches or remote offices are able to connect their offices through this network.

Benefit of this wide networking is it reduces the cost of communication and makes it achievable to share computing resources over longer distances. Metro Ethernet offers high performance technology making many ISPs make use of it in its operations. Just like any other business, when ISP goes into business it is most likely to start off on a low key while hoping for growth in the future. Offering their services through a Metro Ethernet ensures that the ISP will be able to effectively serve their customers. A growth in customer numbers will not compromise the quality of service that the ISP will deliver to their clients. There are already Metro Ethernet service providers who are comfortably serving more than 1.5 million clients in on city. This proves the massive capacity the technology provides. An ISP provider is set to get a lot of clients coming to them if they employ the Metro Ethernet service since ISP clients consider performance to be of high priority.

Another key reason as to why ISPs prefer to use the Metro Ethernet technology is the fact that it is comparable to most LAN, WAN and home networks. Majority of these smaller networks use the same protocol deployed in Metro Ethernets. This makes it completely compatible with most computing networks and as such will not require any special equipment or configuration. With this technology, no signal conversion is required and the communication is seamless and efficient. The benefits of compatibility include easier access to hardware, technical support and other requirements. Compatibility also makes it affordable for both the Metro Ethernet provider and client as they are both working with standard equipment which is readily available.

The benefits that come along with these have seen ISPs continue to use a Metro Ethernet network in their operations. The advanced security offered through the service offers less opportunity for interception of communications is among the benefits.

There is ease of capacity upgrades for clients through Metro Ethernet as the capacity is already available. Some of the networks currently available can deliver up to 10GBps. Clients who need higher performance on such a network will only need a few adjustments to their equipment and configurations. These as well as other reasons are why ISPs continue to use Metro Ethernets as they are the best way to successfully deliver services to clients.
