Service Provider - New Service Outlook
Outsource vs. In-house
- Provide “facilities” for in-house at a reduced cost to customer
- Cost to SP: interfaces only!
- Modularize
- Customers may want to bring a piece in-house--the more modular, the better long-term opportunities for SPs
Newer technologies (MPLS, QoS, IPSec, IDS)
- Fewer deployment points (carrier equip.)
