Upgraded Ethernet provisioning for carrier-grade networks or DCs: SPB delivers traffic on the shortest path available, enabling virtualization and real-time apps.
SPB: an open standard for success
SPB networking been standardized by both the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) and the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF), published as 802.1aq and RFC 6329 respectively. ALE actively supports SPB as the standard for network virtualization, so multi-vendor networks can reap the benefits of SPB.
