Abstract
Protection in Metro Ethernet Networks (MEN) [1] can encompass many ideas. Protection is a self-healing property of the network that allows it to continue to function with minimal or no impact to the network users upon disruption, outages, or degradation of facilities or equipment in the MEN. Naturally, there is a limit to how much the network can be disrupted while maintaining services, but the emphasis is not on this limit but rather on the ability to protect against moderate failures.
