MPLS and Traffic Engineering: Testing & Interoperability

Tags:
switching

Overview IP Infusion's ZebOS Advanced Routing Suite (ARS) is a platform-independent software package that supports IPv4, IPv6, and MPLS-based routing protocols for BGP, OSPF, IS-IS, and RIP. This paper describes IP Infusion's MPLS testing and interoperability. For ZebOS core IPv4 and IPv6 product testing, please refer to the ZebOS IPv4 and IPv6Testing and Interoperability paper. ZebOS supports MultiProtocol Label Switching (MPLS) through the Label Distribution Protocol (LDP), which provides a crucial platform for BGP-VPN (Virtual Private Network) and Traffic Engineering.

IP equals new alliances - get used to it

Much of the complexity stems from MPLS routing, and customers would need to learn new routing procedures, such as Border Gateway Protocol (BGP). One of the most important developments to help companies deploy converged applications is the emergence...

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?
