The Internet has to evolve on many fronts with regard to routing, QoS, addressing, efficiency and security. Multi Protocol Label Switching (MPLS) belongs to the group of technologies designed to achieve this evolution. MPLS is designed to make the Internet fast, scalable, manageable, carry heavy traffic, support QoS and support new routing architectures. This course is designed for those who need to understand how to deploy and manage MPLS networks. The course consists of three part, the first part is the MPLS technology aspects that deal with MPLS concepts, terminology, and signaling protocols. Next we cover MPLS applications such as IP-VPN, Layer 2 VPN, QoS, Traffic Engineering, and Voice over MPLS. These concepts and applications are explained with examples. This is followed by a description of key MPLS troubleshooting techniques, IPv6 and a look ahead at new developments in MPLS.
Learning Objectives
After completing this course, the student will be able to: • Explore the benefits and rationale for MPLS • Sketch the MPLS architecture, • Use the MPLS terminology and explain key concepts • Describe the use of MPLS signaling protocols • Show how MPLS network faults are identified and isolated • List and explain the applications of MPLS • Sketch the MPLS solutions for IP-VPN and Layer 2 VPN solutions • Learn how MPLS is used to support QoS • Describe different methods for deploying MPLS in IPV6-based networks • Show how Traffic Engineering (TE) operations are executed in an MPLS network • Sketch the redundancy solutions in MPLS networks (e.g. FRR) • Explain the purpose and motivation for MPLS-TP
Intended Audience
This course is appropriate for technical audiences that wish to understand the benefits that MPLS offers, its network architecture and options for signaling, and the major applications that it supports.
