  • Introduction to MPLS
    CHAPTER 1 Introduction to MPLS This chapter is an overview of Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS), highlighting MPLS in ATM networks and packet-based networks. It concentrates on the fundamentals of MPLS network design that apply to all ATM MPLS networks, including those supporting VPNs and traffic engineering. • What is MPLS? • Label Switching Features • Label Switching Benefits • IMPLS Compared to Other IP-over-ATM Schemes • MPLS Network Structure • MPLS Applications • MPLS Virtual Private Network • References What is MPLS? Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) is a high-performance method for forwarding packets (frames) through a network. It enables routers at the edge of a network to apply simple labels to packets (frames). ATM switches or existing routers in the network core can switch packets according to the labels with minimal lookup overhead. The BPX® 8650 is an IP+ATM switch that provides ATM-based broadband services and integrates Cisco IOS® software via Cisco 7200 series routers to deliver Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) services. MPLS integrates the performance and traffic management capabilities of Data Link Layer 2 with the scalability and flexibility of Network Layer 3 routing. It is applicable to networks using any Layer 2 switching, but has particular advantages when applied to ATM networks. It integrates IP routing with ATM switching to offer scalable IP-over-ATM networks. In contrast to label switching, conventional Layer 3 IP routing is based on the exchange of network reachability information. As a packet traverses the network, each router extracts all the information relevant to forwarding from the Layer 3 header. This information is then used as an index for a routing table lookup to determine the packet’s next hop.

To reduce costs, you are more than Nortel Networks likelyE considering how to streamline network operations and management by converging your voice, video, and data traffic. Multiservice Switch When implementing a consolidated Wide Area Network (WAN) solution, you cannot 7400/15000 Series afford to compromise mission-critical services’ availability. Because corporate voice services are often the most demanding test of a consolidated network, it is important to for Enterprises choose a solution that offers stringent Quality of Service (QoS) to ensure voice traffic receives the highest priority through the network. Therefore, any changes in networking infrastructure must deliver superior availability and reliability, while maintaining traffic priority. To meet this challenge, Nortel Networks offers its market-leading Multiservice Switches to deliver the services and solutions you require. Many enterprises today have multiple disparate networks operated and managed separately. A typical corporation may include a private voice network consisting of PBXs and key systems networked together over private lines, an outsourced ISDN video conferencing solution from a local service provider, and one or more data networks supporting a wide range of diverse applications. The imple- mentation of a Multiservice Switch (MSS) WAN platform provides for the convergence of voice and data networks and brings video conferencing in-house—all at reduced costs. As an integral part of that strategy, Nortel Networks offers the Multiservice Switch 7400 and Multiservice Switch 15000 series of Multiservice WAN Switches for enterprises in both private and public sectors looking for a reliable, cost-effective multiservice WAN platform.
