ENG-410E

OVERVIEW OF MPLS TECHNOLOGY

Description

A 1-day Training Program to provide participants with a high-level view of the key concepts pertaining to the MultiProtocol Label Switching (MPLS) technology and with a basic level understanding of MPLS.

Prerequisite

To fully appreciate the contents of this Training Program, the participant should have attended the following Training Program or have acquired the equivalent experience in the subject matter:

  • ENG-400E Introduction to Data Networks & TCP/IP for Non-technical Staff

Objectives

  • Describe Internet Protocol (IP) routing and its associated challenges
  • Identify the compelling reasons why MPLS is a technology to adopt in today’s environment, and how it can help benefit network service providers
  • Provide a conceptual definition of MPLS
  • List the components of a MPLS network, and show how they all fit together
  • Explain what a Label Switched Path (LSP) is, why it is used, and how it is built
  • Define the concept of traffic engineering and how to implement it in a MPLS network
  • Differentiate MPLS Virtual Private Networks (VPNs) and shed light on when to use each type

Topics

  • IP data network review
    • Basic concepts
    • Routing tutorial

  • Why MPLS?
    • The paradigm shift
    • Limitations of current networks
    • Network service provider challenges
    • Drivers for MPLS

  • MPLS concepts
    • MPLS definition
    • MPLS architecture and components

    • What is a virtual path and how to create it
    • Label Distribution Protocol (LDP): the signaling protocol that helps make it happen

  • MPLS traffic engineering
    • What is traffic engineering?
    • Creating LSPs that adhere to specified constraints
    • Constraint-based Routing Label Distribution Protocol (CR-LDP) and Resource reSerVation Protocol (RSVP): the signaling protocols that helps make it happen

  • MPLS VPNs
    • Layer 3 (L3) VPNs
    • Layer 2 (L2) VPNs

Target Audience

  • Non-technical personnel in sales, customer care, or any other role, interested in acquiring a basic level understanding of the MPLS technology
