Converging ATM/Frame Relay Over MPLS - Solving Control Plane Interworking

Tags: data services, atm, qos, mpls, ip, infrastructure, management, applications, data

Overview 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 networks into a scalable, converged service infrastructure. Concerted efforts by the MFA Forum and other standards bodies have given MPLS the capabilities that a service provider needs to build a reliable delivery platform for premium voice, video, and data services: agnostic access, standardized encapsulation, predictable QoS, and proven traffic management.
