MPLS Overview

IETF RFC 4364 (2547bis)Combined with proposals from Cisco, IBM, and Toshiba circa 1997MPLS packets can run on other L2 technologies such as ATM, FR, p gPPP, Ethernet.

MPLS allows for the creation of secure policy-based VPNs over a MPLS allows for the creation of secure, policy based VPNs over a variety of underlying networks across multiple carriers.

MPLS Benefits and Performance

Quality of Service (QoS): The overall performance of the network supported by SLAs. SLAs. h SLA terms include: Availability, Packet loss, Latency, and Jitter.

Class of Service (CoS): The ability to differentiate and treat packets differently based on importance and time sensitivitybased on importance and time sensitivityh Class of Service allows for MPLS users to prioritize different types of data depending

on their requirements and applications.

Most carriers offer anywhere between 3-6 different levels of CoS.

Gold Level: Voice traffic, HPBX

Silver+: Streaming Video, Mission critical data, PCCW’s High-Definition Video Conference solution

Sil O l SAP d th b i iti l li tiSilver: Oracle, SAP, and other business critical applications

Bronze: Email, http, etc.

MPLS InterCarrier Interconnects

RFC 4364 describes multiple methodologies of connecting autonomous systems autonomous systems. MPLS ICIs (formerly known as NNIs) allow for two carriers to seamlessly expand their network to provide VPNs in locations seamlessly expand their network to provide VPNs in locations where they do not manage owned facilities.ICIs allow for regional carriers to offer global services to their g gcustomers.Scable, secure, proven method to expand into a developing region.Relationship-basedhSLAs, Procedures, Pricing, CoS Mapping, etc. all is negotiated prior to

i l i d i d d i l b iimplementation and is updated on continual basis.

Putting it Into Practice

Multiple Regional Network Providers vs. One Network Provider with Extended Reachh Comparable Costsh Comparable Costs

– ICIs require minimal infrastructure investments or expensive backhauls.– Dealing with one Carrier instead of multiple Carriers allows for IT to cut down on cycles.

Ensure that One Network Provider has experience with providing a seamless network solution.h Successful ICIs require 2-4 months of negotiations between Carriers before

implementation.

Implementation Timeframesh Request for Proposal: 1-3 monthsh Decision: 1-3 monthsDecision: 1 3 monthsh Implementation: 3-8 months (dependant on the size and locations of VPN)

Putting it Into Practice – What to look for?

SLAshSingle SLA across multiple networks – pre-negotiated.

PerformancehRound-trip delay (RTD) should be very comparable.hMost carriers have performance information via Web portal.Most carriers have performance information via Web portal.

CoverageC i i ICI f l i d f ti h t th hCarriers using ICIs for longer periods of time have greater coverage than those “going it alone” or just implementing their first ICI.
