MPLS Training

Multi-Protocol Label Switching is the newest approach to integrate Quality and Class of Service into large IP networks. Furthermore, it introduces traffic management and traffic steering capabilities and enables operators to optimize their networks.

Seminar Objectives

• Understand MPLS conecpts and terminology
• Realize MPLS-routing in the context of IP-networks
• Compare Signalling Protocols (CR-)LDP and RSVP-TE
• Learn about MPLS capabilities to interwork with other networking technologies

Seminar Description

• Type: Instructor-led
• Duration: 1-2 days (customizable)
• Materials: Powerpoint slides with annotations, Instructor manual upon request.
