MPLS-Based IP VPN Service

Overview To deliver IP VPN services profitably, many service providers worldwide are enhancing core networks by deploying Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) technology. MPLS blends the intelligence of routing with the performance of switching, enabling service providers to extend the capabilities of IP to large-scale VPN implementations. This paper describes the services enabled by MPLS-based IP VPNs that service providers can offer to enterprise customers. It also presents the additional benefits for service providers when these new services are deployed with the comprehensive portfolio of Cisco Systems MPLS-based IP VPN solutions.
