MPLS On the IP Backbone
White Paper A technology called Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) lets network service providers create Virtual Private Networks (VPNs) that offer the flexibility of IP and the Quality of Service (QoS) of ATM. [24 Feb 2004]
Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS)
White Paper Multiprotocol label switching (MPLS) is a versatile solution to address the problems faced by present-day networks—speed, scalability, quality-of-service MPLS has emerged as an elegant solution to meet the bandwidth-management and service... [24 Feb 2004]
Multi-Protocol Label Switching (MPLS) Tech Paper
White Paper Multi-Protocol Label Switching (MPLS) was originally presented as a way of improving the forwarding speed of routers but is now emerging as a crucial standard technology that offers new capabilities for large scale IP networks. [24 Feb 2004]
Deploying Guaranteed-Bandwith Services with MPLS
White Paper This document describes how a hypothetical MPLS network can deliver guaranteed-bandwidth services using traffic engineering and quality of service (QoS). It discusses various implementation trade-offs and includes a preferred network design that... [24 Feb 2004]
Introduction to MPLS Label Distribution and Signaling
White Paper In the first tutorial, we discussed the data flow and the foundational concepts of MPLS networks. In this section, we will introduce the concepts and application of MPLS label distribution and introduce MPLS signaling. [24 Feb 2004]
Advanced MPLS Signaling
White Paper This article discusses MPLS signaling and the ongoing conversations regarding signaling choices. In previous tutorials, we talked about data flow and label distribution. [24 Feb 2004]
IGP Requirements for Traffic Engineering with MPLS
White Paper This document describes the functional requirements for an IGP to support Traffic Engineering with MPLS. A description of the requirements for Traffic Engineering with MPLS can be found. This document does not specify the protocol changes necessary... [24 Feb 2004]
Generalized MPLS Control Plane Architecture for Automatic Switched Transport Network
White Paper The control plane technology is based on IP/MPLS control plane protocols. This memo includes generic procedures, key concepts, and technical considerations for the generalized MPLS control plane architecture. [24 Feb 2004]
Resolving Routes for MPLS Traffic Engineering
White Paper This paper describes how Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) traffic engineering maps certain data flows to established label switched paths (LSPs) rather than to data links calculated by the IGP to be part of the best(shortest) path. [24 Feb 2004]
Layer 3 Switching Using MPLS
White Paper This white paper highlights the challenges faced by service providers intransitioning to IP-based networks, the current capabilities of IP, the current methods used to build large-scale IP networks, and the capabilities envisioned for the... [24 Feb 2004]
The Path to MPLS
White Paper To be prepared for new MPLS-enabled services while protecting existing investments and revenue, service providers need high-availability switching equipment that can support legacy, revenue-generating ATM, frame relay, and private-line... [24 Feb 2004]
A Comparison of MPLS Traffic Engineering Initiatives
White Paper Multi-Protocol Label Switching (MPLS) is one of several initiatives to enable delivery on the promise of a converged network. The momentum toward voice and data convergence, each with their own unique set of requirements, is driving the Internet to... [24 Feb 2004]
VPN Architectures - Comparing MPLS and IPSec and a Combined Approach
White Paper This white paper compares MPLS- and IPSec-based VPN architectures. Next, it presents the relative strengths of MPLS- and IPSec-based VPNs and explains where service providers can deploy each architecture for optimum advantage. [24 Feb 2004]
RFC 2547bis: BGP/MPLS VPN Hierarchical and Recursive Applications
White Paper The objective of this paper is to provide a detailed understanding of the operation of hierarchical and recursive BGP/MPLS VPNs as described in RFC 2547bis. As BGP/MPLS VPNs are deployed in the Internet, it is possible that the customer of a BGP... [24 Feb 2004]
Alcatel 5620 IP/MPLS Network Management: Leading the Way in Broadband Management
White Paper In addition, Multi Protocol Label Switching (MPLS) is playing a key role in the evolution of the carrier network as service providers around the world focus on optimization and asset productivity. The growth rates for Internet Protocol (IP) traffic... [24 Feb 2004]
