MPLS-TP

INTEROPERABLE TRANSPORT

GRADE MPLS

Common – Packet forwarding

Added – Transport like OAM, protection,

operation

Discarded – Features

that hurt deterministic performance or that

are not connection

oriented

Subset and extension

of IP/MPLS

to meet transport

requirements

MPLS-TP

COMMON

Protection & Resiliency Sub 50ms protection switch

for any topology

OAM In band OAM channel Proactive transport grade OAM

IP/MPLSControl Plane Optional NMS static control Separated from data

Data Plane Bidirectional LSPs

No LSP merging, ECMP or PHP

Main differences

PROTECTION

ECI Telecom Proprietary

and Confidential

7ECI Proprietary 7

IP/MPLS – No Carrier Grade Protection -

Cannot guarantee sub-50 millisecond

convergence with LDP. FRR require to add

RSVP-TE which isn’t scalable in large

networks.

MPLS-TP – guaranteed sub-50 msec

switched to protection through HW based

proactive OAM and static FRR provisioning

Importance

Guaranteed sub-50 msec carrier grade switch

to protection: FRR, 1:1, 1+1, 1:n, linear, ring

WHAT TO USE?

IP/MPLS and MPLS-TP are complementary

technologies fitting better different network

domains

IP/MPLS dynamic powerful routing addresses

better the core of the network L3 and IT-oriented, less-critical traffic – routing / reachability

MPLS-TP predictable and deterministic performance

and high resiliency, fits better the edge, aggregation

and access parts of the networks.

L2, mission-critical applications, Pseudowire traffic (legacy

is here to stay!)

Deterministic behavior, embedded traffic engineering

ELASTIC MPLS – THE BEST OF BOTH WORLDS

Signaling GW (SGW) – Used to

tie PW segments together into a

single connection (stitching) at a

given point

A single platform located at the

border of two network domains

MPLS-TP LSPPWE

SGW enables LSP and service

stitching, interaction between the data

planes, and E2E OAM.

The two domains may both be: Static

Dynamic

One static and one Dynamic
