Is MPLS-TP a Reality? |
|
| |
|
Overviewing the industry’s movement on MPLS-TP. Providing cost saving analysis for transport  moving away from TDM toward packet. Updating the latest standards status, especially on MPLS-TP OAM. Discussing two main deployment options of MPLS-TP implementation: static provisioned MPLS-TP with NMS, and signaled MPLS-TP with GMPLS protocols for MPLS-TP LSP and LDP for PW.

MPLS TP-Pseudowires: Reality or Illusion? |
|
| |
|
Recently, there has been some debate as to whether we need to change anything about  pseudowires to use them in an MPLS-TP network. Exploring the characteristics of pseudowires that make them a good fit for supporting such services over MPLS-TP.
