 Evolution of MPLS-TP as Technology for WAN Networks

What is MPLS-TP? MPLS

Additional functionality

 MPLS-TP stands for Multi-Protocol Label MPLS-TP

Switching – Transport Profile, a subset of Subset to meet
Transport
MPLS and based on Ethernet requirements
- PWE3
 MPLS-TP is replacing other WAN/transport Architecture
technologies like SONET/SDH - MPLS
forwarding
 MPLS-TP is standard technology and not
proprietary to any single vendor

 SONET/SDH/MPLS are carrier technologies used to sell bandwidth

 SONET/SDH = guaranteed bandwidth allocation
 MPLS = guaranteed bandwidth allocation
 Ethernet = no guaranteed bandwidth allocation

MPLS-TP is standard based technology that enables bandwidth allocation

and deterministic operation over Ethernet networks.

 Some main benefits of MPLS-TP

Some important areas in which Ethernet/MPLS-TP surpasses SONET/SDH systems:

• Lower Cost
• Future-proof Investment Protection
• Flexible Topologies
• Connectivity Everywhere
• Operational Simplicity

MPLS-TP considered to be the future technology

Recent CIGRE publication June 2016 [Pages 150-151: 22.8 MPLS-TP or IP-MPLS in Operational Context]
“MPLS-TP in the context of operational telecom seems to
be the appropriate technology than IP-MPLS with or without
traffic engineering.”

• Maintaining full control of the network

• Quality of Service and deterministic behavior
• Size of network and type of traffic
• Capability versus complexity
• Migration from SDH
