MPLS resource links

Telephony Online article: "Advanced peering leverages the Martini Draft implementation of MPLS. It enables ISPs and content providers to use a shared, IP-based transport network to establish advanced peering links to business partners. It allows each provider to maintain its own AS network and achieve high quality and secure performance for all traffic types. And it does this while allowing the providers to avoid the cost and operational implications of the traditional model."

"Terabit Routers, Network processors and Optical switches ushered in a new era in broadband communication technology. Meanwhile, GMPLS was trying to unify all networks with a common protocol for end to end unified provisioning. With all these contending technologies in the fray, the slowdown in early 2001 gave us time to pause, reflect and eventually, gave these technologies time to rethink. This paper analyzes these technologies and assesses with the help of some market surveys the future of ATM and where it will fit in the broadband networking world upto the mid 2000s."

Extreme Networks overview: "Today's metropolitan area networks (MANs) need to deliver extremely high availability without sacrificing latency or throughput. Customers running high-bandwidth video, voice-over-IP, or real-time scientific and medical applications need the highest availability and fastest failover. So why not use MPLS to deliver advanced label switching services, while leveraging the lightning-fast EAPS for protection in the metro core?"

"This web page is dedicated to a white paper related to a VPN case study based on the simulation of classes of services over an IP/MPLS backbone. Besides the WP itself, there is a slide show and detailed traces of elementary trials performed with IPVCoSS (the simulator). The WP shows many graphs and performance reports, especially with regards to jitter QoS parameter."
