Metro Ethernet, formerly called Native Mode LAN Interconnect (NMLI), is a general term describing a Metropolitan Area Network (MAN) topology. Metro Ethernet increases network capacity and offers a simple, scalable and affordable alternative to traditional technologies such as T1 or frame relay. Metro Ethernet can be used to connect to the public Internet and/or to build a private Wide Area Network (WAN).
