Technical Features of MPLS
(Multi Protocol Label Switching) |
| |
|
|
• |
|
MPLS is a Next Generation Network (NGN) to support VoIP, Video, real-time and best effort data. Allows traffic to be “engineered” through the implementation of Quality of Service (QOS) across the network and class of service on the routers. You manage the traffic priorities. |
|
|
|
• |
|
Ability to provide Service Level Agreements (SLAs) with almost an absolute guarantee for data rates, delay and packet loss by using a combination of admission control and DiffServ. |
|
|
|
• |
|
Very low packet loss compared to VPN over Internet. |
• |
|
A comprehensive, end-to-end, carrier grade service level guarantee covering the core network and access tails. With managed services, all equipment maintenance will also be provided with a service level agreement.. |

|
Expert advice and professional services to improve the use of technology and lower overall cost of the network. |
|
|
|
• |
|
Scale to allow sites to be added and bandwidth to be upgraded easily – ideal for companies changing through acquisition or consolidation. |
• |
|
Fully meshed to flatten the topology of your network reducing the technical risk associated with a hub-and-spoke frame-relay architecture and improving overall performance. |
|
|
|
• |
|
Any to Any configuration. When your Private Network is provisioned between all your locations, all locations can potentially connect to each other – improving the overall performance and reliability of the network. |
|
|
|
• |
|
Supports Pseudowires, which is an emulation of a native service over a packet switched network (PSN). The native service may be SDH/SONET, ATM, Frame Relay, HDLC or Ethernet all operating under MPLS through the network core. A pseudowire emulates the operation of a "transparent wire" carrying the native service. |
|
|
|
• |
|
Supports Multicast Routing through Protocol Independent Multicast (PIM), a control protocol used to create FEC tables. |
|
|
|
• |
|
Label distribution can be through various protocols such as BGP, LDP, RSVP and PIM. |
• |
|
Unification and optical control planes in GMPLS to evolve SDH and Sonet services. Also, GMPLS is used to generalize the MPLS control plane over many types of transports, including packet-tope networks. |
|
|
|
• |
|
Citrix applications perform dramatically better on an MPLS NGN Network. |
|
|
|
• |
|
For SaaS providers that will support private networking, dramatically improve application performance versus internet access. |
|
|
|
• |
|
With carriers that offer Layer 2 Virtual Private Networks (L2VPN) IP routing is done right at the edge of the Layer 2 network delivered through a dedicated physical connection with a data link such as PPP or via a virtual connection, such as ATM VC or Frame Relay DLCI. These can be encapsulated in IP/MPLS packet via pseudowires. |
