MPLS Evolution: A Lucent Perspective

Overview Carrier networks are currently going through a significant evolution. Instead of maintaining separate transport networks to provide voice, video and data services, they are moving towards a common packet based network infrastructure, in order to minimize capital expenditure and operational costs while offering new services, and hence to stay competitive. This paper describes how the combination of Ethernet, IP routing and MPLS provide the foundation to meet these convergence goals.

IP over everything?

The aim is to save on the capital expenditure of building a dedicated IP network, the cost of which is testified to from the absence of native IP network players where once there were many hopeful start-ups.

VoIP primer: How it works - and what the jargon means

On private networks - LAN, WAN or in the carrier's core - application performance can be assured using two distinct quality of service parameters: DiffServ and MPLS. Voice is typically given the highest priority, in MPLS terms this is likely to be...
