How 10 Gigabit Ethernet, RPR and MPLS Work Together: The Future of Metro Area Networking
Overview
Over the last year, three new and particularly promising technologies have emerged at the forefront
of Metro networking. The three are Multi-protocol Label Switching (MPLS), 10-Gigabit Ethernet, and
Resilient Packet Ring (RPR). Today, as the standards slowly settle into hardware, each is finally
reaching the stage beyond speculation, and into network deployment.
The goal of this paper is to present a unified, if tentative, vision of how MPLS, RPR, and Ethernet should be deployed together in the Metro Networks of the near-future. The point is to isolate the particular strengths of that technology, and its appropriate role in a Metro deployment.
