Quality of Service Routing in MPLS Networks Using Delay and Bandwidth Constraints
White Paper Multi-Protocol Label Switching (MPLS) has been proposed as a new approach for integrating layer 3 routing with the layer 2 switching. It integrates the label swapping paradigm of layer 2 (e.g. ATM and Frame Relay) with the routing of layer 3 (e.g. [11 Jul 2008]
Why Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) Should Be Used in IP-Based Networks
White Paper One method of enhancing IP-based networks is to combine elements of the Open System Interconnection Model (OSI), specifically between the Link Layer (Layer 2) and the Network Layer (layer 3). The demand for multimedia applications along with rapid... [11 Jul 2008]
Multi-Protocol Label Switching (MPLS): Using MPLS to Build an Application-Centric Network
White Paper This paper discusses the mechanics of using Multi-Protocol Label Switching (MPLS) to enable highly scalable, intelligent Layer 2 and 3 Quality of Service (QoS), privacy and end-to-end connectivity in either Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) or... [10 Jul 2008]
Experiences With Class of Service (CoS) Translations in IP/MPLS Networks
White Paper Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS), residing in between IP and layer-2 in the protocol stack, provides an interface to translate IP CoS to appropriate layer-2 QoS. Since most of the layer-2 technologies provide support for strict QoS, an... [10 Jul 2008]
Network Convergence Over MPLS
White Paper Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) is emerging as a flexible technology that can transport voice, IPv4, IPv6, layer 2 services (Frame Relay, ATM, Ethernet, etc.and even PDH and SDH/SONET circuits over a single packet infrastructure, in a new... [10 Jul 2008]
QoS Implementation for MPLS Based Wireless Networks
White Paper Mulitprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) is a newer technology that offers service integration, layer 2 switching and connection orientedness, that allows traffic engineering control traffic flows in the network. [10 Jul 2008]
Virtual Private LAN Service and Virtual Private Wire Service - A Market and Technology Overview
White Paper With IP or Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) running in the network core, two emerging Layer 2 VPN IP/MPLS architectures are generating high interest among service providers and enterprises-Virtual Private LAN Service (VPLS) and Virtual Private... [03 Jul 2008]
Converging ATM/Frame Relay Over MPLS - Solving Control Plane Interworking
White Paper The emergence of new standards for Layer 2 transport, new Layer 3 applications, and multiservice interworking over MultiProtocol Label Switching (MPLS) have made MPLS a desirable framework for integrating specialized ATM, Frame Relay, and IP... [25 Jun 2008]
A Hardware/Software Co-Design for RSVP-TE MPLS
White Paper This paper presents a hardware/software co-design for Multi Protocol Label Switching (MPLS) using RSVP-TE as a signaling protocol. MPLS solutions are meant to be used with Layer 2 and or Layer 3 protocols. [25 Jun 2008]
Consolidating Networks Using Cisco Any Transport over MPLS
White Paper The Cisco Any Transport over MPLS (AToM) solution leverages Multi-protocol Label Switching (MPLS) core networks to build and maximize Layer 2 and 3 service revenues by consolidating networks on the industry's leading multi-service platform, the... [10 Apr 2008]
MPLS AToM - Ethernet Over MPLS
White Paper This paper describes the Ethernet over MultiProtocol Label Switching (MPLS) feature, which transports Layer 2 VLAN packets across an MPLS backbone. This feature is part of the Any Transport over MPLS (AToM) product set. [09 Jun 2007]
Understanding Any Transport over MPLS (AToM)
White Paper This book chapter, excerpted from Cisco Press' Layer 2 VPN Architectures, begins with an overview of LDP (Label Distribution Protocol) used by pseudowire emulation over MPLS, followed by an explanation of the protocol specifications and operations... [17 May 2006]
Hierarchical Self-Routing Scatternet for Multihop Bluetooth Networks
White Paper This paper proposes a strategy for each Bluetooth device selecting proper communication neighbors and assigning proper label, hence all nodes together form a hierarchical self-routing Bluetooth networks. [21 Mar 2006]
