A Hardware/Software Co-Design for RSVP-TE MPLS

Tags:
bandwidth issues

Overview This paper presents a hardware/software co-design for Multi Protocol Label Switching (MPLS) using RSVP-TE as a signaling protocol. MPLS is the protocol framework on which the attention of network service provider is focused as it provides privacy and unbreakable security to users. It is meant to primarily prioritize internet traffic and improve bandwidth utilization. As such it provides the possibility of associating quality of service per flow. Furthermore it increases the performance of internet applications and overall efficiency. MPLS solutions are meant to be used with Layer 2 and or Layer 3 protocols. So far MPLS protocols are implemented by equipment providers in the equipment software package. However, software based solutions decrease overall performance of the network.

Live Webcast: Telecoms 2.0 - Where is telecoms heading?

In this webcast, our panel of experts will review where we are with next generation telecoms in the UK, working through the concept of 'Telecoms 2.0': - Realising the potential of Next Generation Networks - why it isn't just about the technology? - What attributes should firms be looking for in their telco partner? - Is the relationship between telco provider and customer changing? - What things need to happen to make next generation services a reality? - You say you want the supplier to change. Do you want to change too? - What is Telecoms 2.0?

Telecom 2.0: Mind over matter

ntl:Telewest Business believes that the role of the telco is evolving. Gone are the days when it was enough to simply focus on circuits and minutes, customers now need a far higher degree of interaction and look for suppliers who will talk business solutions with them.
