Deciphering MPLS-TP
Date: January 31, 2012 |  Time: 11 am ET / 8 am PT  |  Duration: 1 hour
With packet-based technologies rapidly evolving to match carrier-grade transport standards, the migration from legacy TDM to packet switched networks is currently underway.

Today, Multiprotocol Label Switching (IP/MPLS) is considered to be the leading packet transport networking technology. Just like Provider Backbone Bridging Traffic Engineering (PBB-TE) extended existing Ethernet standards in the core network, MPLS is being made more transport-oriented by the newly defined and still evolving MPLS Transport Profile (MPLS-TP) standard, which is expected to provide a cost effective solution. However, adoption of MPLS-TP is still at its infancy as the finer aspects of the standards are still being worked on.

In this webinar, experts from Aricent will dive deep into the nuances of MPLS-TP, and tackle the common myths associated with it. They will decipher the specifications, and delve into typical deployment scenarios. The interactive Q&A session will allow attendees to allay their specific fears about MPLS-TP. Additionally, the speakers will also highlight how Aricent’s award winning ISS software implements MPLS-TP and can enable successful network deployments.

What attendees will learn from this webinar:
  • Develop an in-depth understanding of the MPLS-TP technology
  • Learn how to address the critical challenges of MPLS-TP as it exists today
  • Identify typical risks and pitfalls around MPLS-TP deployment
  • Learn how to develop solutions that use MPLS-TP to solve critical network bottlenecks

Who should attend:
  • Product line managers
  • Product marketing managers
  • Technology consultants
  • Software engineers
  • Hardware engineers
  • Network architects/consultants
  • System engineers/architects
