Sensitive Application on MPLS

[maher]

Hi there,

I would like to ask everyone in this forum regarding application server ruuning over MPLS VPN. From what I've seen and encountered before, sensitive application server such as oracle,sap,lotus,sql, databases, crm and etc are experiencing some slowness in terms of getting the data/information and etc.

I understand this involved not only the SP level, but from CE side such as servers,application fine tuning and etc needs to be consider also

However, basic ping/pathping/traceroute from CE-PE/PE-PE/P-P/CE-CE has been done to prove that no packet drops, no mtu issues and etc. On the L3 connectivity, so far so good. But when the real traffic pump in..things become worst.

Since in SP level, the application of some QOS technique in PE,P routers is being applied. Is there any BCP for SP in deadling with these application server running over MPLS VPN? Do you guys did encounter any diffuculties during the implentation in delivering services for this type sensitive application? What are the method being used in order to mitigate this issues?

Any ideas,recommendation,input are most welcome.

Thank you very much.

regards,

maher

If I understand your question correctly then the answer is that there should be no problems for applications running over MPLS. It is possible that SP is doing some policing to limit the bandwidth usage.

Typical ping round-trip-time (NYC-SFO) over an MPLS network is 75ms

Hi,

That's what MPLS promises..anyway it should be fine with ping round-trip-time (NYC-SFO) :) . I'm not so sure I'm doing the right QOS or any necessary config..just wondering...
