MPLS

I'm currently looking at deploying vrf lite on our ce's but I'm unable to locate the limitations on how many instances can be run. I realise that the low-end ce's (1700, 2600) the limitation is 5 instances. Is there any other CE related devices that ...

I'm trying to design MPLS QoS for an MPLS VPN network. I've read some things on E-LSPs and L-LSPs, but it seems to me that L-LSPs is futuristic (not yet available). Where does that leave me, how many classes can I therefore create. What happens to DS...

We are looking to implement MPLS from Equant very shortly and all I have seen in relation to backup/failover is ISDN. As ADSL is very cheap now (and at a fixed rate) I would prefer to pay this rather than a variable cost such as ISDN.Is this possibl...

Hi,I'm not up to speed with MPLS at all, but our WAN connections are provided by a 3rd party using MPLS.While the service is very good i am querying the security of MPLS.I have basic understanding and believe MPLS to be a frame tagging system similar...

I have read on here that VPLS is only supported on the 7600. I am taking for granted it is a software feature, not hardware, correct? If that is not the case wouldn't it be available in the 6500 since they use the same hardware? I looked (and couldn'...

Hello, In MPLS and VPN Architectures, in Chapter 12 p310, Association of the Global Routing Table with a VRF, it describes the following. If PEa is connected to two ISPs, and contains the full Internet routing table in a VRF from both ISPs, and it in...

Hi,I have a MPLS setup as below and am trying to establish a L2VPN. PE1-P-P-PE2(IS-IS is the IGP)As far as I understand the loopbacks (of the PE's) should be reachable thru the IGP for the L2VPN to work.I have noticed a strange behavior. From PE1 I c...

PC ==== R1 ======== R2We have 2 routers named R1 and R2. R1- R2 is in MPLS domain. The link from R1 to PC is not in MPLS . We have static routes added to PC in R1.R1 generates a label value of 36 for the prefix PC, and advertising to R2. In turn, R...
