MPLS
Description

MPLS stands for "Multiprotocol Label Switching".
Multi Protocol Label Switching (MPLS) is one of the central elements of next generation networks. It provides an IP-compatible, QoS-capable infrastructure that enables the convergence of voice, IP, ATM, Ethernet, and Frame Relay onto the same backbone network. MPLS can combine the intelligence and salability of routing with the reliability and manageability of traditional carrier networks. It is the key to scalable virtual private networks (VPNs) and end-to-end quality of service (QoS).This course provides an in-depth study of MPLS technology, including MPLS theory and configuration, network design issues, case studies, operations, VPN, Traffic Engineering and GMPLS (Generalized MPLS).
