PSP Co.'s networking needs
• Establishing a online connection between Office and factories for application
• Establishing VOIP between office and factories Centralized the network
• Supporting and troubleshooting the network more efficiently
• Accelerate and enhance the company's efficiency

Why MPLS?
• Needed a single infrastructure that supports multitude of applications in a secure manner
• Provide a highly scalable mechanism that was topology driven rather than flow driven
• Load balance traffic to utilize network bandwidth efficiently
• Allow core routers/networking devices to switch packets based on some simplified header
• Ultra fast forwarding• VPN

Motivation
• IPo The first defined and used protocolo De facto the only protocol for global
Internet working
… but there are disadvantages

Motivation (cont.)
• IP Routing disadvantages o Connectionless - e.g. no QoSo Large IP Header - At least 20 byteso Routing in Network Layer - Slower than Switchingo Usually designed to obtain shortest path - Do not take into account additional metrics

Motivation (cont.)
• ATMo connection oriented - Supports QoSo fast packet switching with fixed length
packets (cells)o integration of different traffic types (voice,
data, video)
… but there are also disadvantages

Motivation (cont.)
• ATM disadvantageso Complexo Expensiveo Not widely adopted

Motivation (cont.)
• Idea: Combine the forwarding algorithm used in ATM with IP.

MPLS Basics
• Multi Protocol Label Switching is arranged between Layer 2 and Layer 3
10

MPLS Basics (cont.)
• MPLS Characteristicso Mechanisms to manage traffic flows of
various granularities (Flow Management)o Is independent of Layer-2 and Layer-3
protocols o Maps IP-addresses to fixed length labelso Supports ATM, Frame-Relay and Ethernet

MPLS Basics (cont.)
• Generic label format

MPLS Operation
• The following steps must be taken for a data packet to travel through an MPLS domain. o label creation and distribution o table creation at each router o label-switched path creation o label insertion/table lookup o packet forwarding

MPLS Advantages
• Improves packet-forwarding performance in the network
• Supports QoS and CoS for service differentiation
• Supports network scalability • Integrates IP and ATM in the network • Builds interoperable networks • Use of special services, such as traffic
engineering

MPLS Disadvantages
• An additional layer is added• The router has to understand MPLS

Alternative to MPLS
• Frame Relay• Point to Point• ATM• Leased Line
