MPLS is a technology that facilitates various network services by attaching short labels to data packets to identify how they should be handled by routers. It provides more efficient routing and support for quality of service compared to traditional TCP/IP networking. MPLS is important for businesses because it allows them to consolidate multiple network types and prioritize applications to improve performance. When selecting an MPLS provider, enterprises should consider the provider's network coverage, experience implementing MPLS, pricing structure, and long-term ability to support the network's evolution.

The benefits of MPLS IP VPN networks are already being realized by many enterprises. In addition to maximizing performance while minimizing costs, MPLS VPNs offer the ability to prioritize applications such as VoIP by class of service (CoS), create and improve disaster recovery infrastructures, utilize a fully meshed infrastructure that replaces outdated hub and spoke architecture, and reduce complexity to simplify network management in an increasingly complex landscape.
When considering a migration to MPLS VPN, there are several key considerations that can significantly impact the process of planning, implementing and managing the network, as MPLS has some unique requirements and tasks associated with managing and administering the network. This white paper will explore some of those considerations and discuss how they can be addressed.

Multi-Protocol Label Switching Internet Protocol Virtual Private Network, or MPLS IP VPN, refers to a VPN service enabled over a trusted provider’s private MPLS core backbone. It delivers the flexibility of an IP service with the essential service quality, performance, and security previously available only with legacy technologies. Other benefits include cost-effective security, any-to-any connectivity, Quality of Service, scalable bandwidth, and a platform for convergence.
Cisco Carrier Packet Transport System: Foundation for Next-Generation Transport Cisco Canada
The Cisco Carrier Packet Transport (CPT) System is the first Packet-Optical Transport System (P-OTS) built on standards-based Multiprotocol Label Switching Transport Profile (MPLS-TP) technology. It unifies both packet and transport technologies, giving service providers a strong foundation for the transport technologies, giving service providers a strong foundation for the next generation of transport. This P-OTS platform supports DWDM, OTN, Ethernet, and MPLS-TP integrated in a single system. And it smoothly interoperates with existing deployed IP MPLS networks.
Many white papers describe technically how MPLS works—down to the details of configuration across different Customer Premises Equipment (CPE) types but, before you take a deep dive into the inner workings of the technology, determine if migrating to MPLS is the best decision for your enterprise. Thoroughly investigate the key business reasons your enterprise might consider a private IP network, as well as the issues you must monitor and manage to make MPLS a success.

This lesson describes the concept of VPN and introduces some VPN terminology.
Importance
This lesson is the foundation lesson for the MPLS VPN Curriculum.
Objectives
Upon completion of this lesson, the learner will be able to perform the following
tasks:
■ Describe the concept of VPN
■ Explain VPN terminology as defined by MPLS VPN architecture
Do you run an MPLS network to some or all of your branches? If so, you are likely wasting MPLS capacity backhauling Internet traffic.
For many organizations, a lot of the traffic is Internet-bound due to increased cloud-usage. Backhauling Internet traffic over an expensive MPLS service adds latency and puts pressure on limited and expensive MPLS capacity.
Performance of MPLS-based Virtual Private Networks and Classic Virtual Privat...TELKOMNIKA JOURNAL
Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) is effective in managing and utilizing available network bandwidth. It has advanced security features and a lower time delay. The existing literature has covered the performance of MPLS-based networks in relation to conventional Internet Protocol (IP) networks. But, too few literatures exist on the performance of MPLS-based Virtual Private Networks (VPN) in relation to traditional VPN networks. In this paper, a comparison is made between the effectiveness of the MPLS-VPN network and a classic VPN network using simulation studies done on OPNET®. The performance metrics used to carry out the comparison include; End to End Delay, Voice Packet Sent/Received and Label Switched Path’s Traffic. The simulation study was carried out with Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) as the test bed. The result of the study showed that MPLS-based VPN networks outperform classic VPN networks.

Kubernetes & AI - Beauty and the Beast !?! @KCD Istanbul 2024Tobias Schneck
As AI technology is pushing into IT I was wondering myself, as an “infrastructure container kubernetes guy”, how get this fancy AI technology get managed from an infrastructure operational view? Is it possible to apply our lovely cloud native principals as well? What benefit’s both technologies could bring to each other?
Let me take this questions and provide you a short journey through existing deployment models and use cases for AI software. On practical examples, we discuss what cloud/on-premise strategy we may need for applying it to our own infrastructure to get it to work from an enterprise perspective. I want to give an overview about infrastructure requirements and technologies, what could be beneficial or limiting your AI use cases in an enterprise environment. An interactive Demo will give you some insides, what approaches I got already working for real.

Introduction: Understanding MPLS
Multiprotocol label switching (MPLS) is a converged data network
technique that facilitates the most efficient platform for transporting a
diverse array of different types of traffic. MPLS provides a simplified
network infrastructure for the simultaneous transport of multiple
applications such as voice, video, and data.
One of the misconceptions about MPLS is that it's often labeled as a
service. MPLS is a technology that facilitates various services.
Multiple protocols supported by MPLS include IP packets, native
ATM, SONET, and Ethernet frames. MPLS is highly scalable and
provides a mechanism to create virtual links on a national basis and
a global basis. MPLS provides high availability and high levels of
security.
The best way to understand MPLS is to compare it with native
TCP/IP. Standard routed IP routers independently decide where to
send the packet each time the packet arrives at the router. This
decision is based entirely on the packet's network-layer header,
which is large — over 100 bits. In other words, it's large and
cumbersome. In addition, TCP/IP does not provide users with quality
of service (QoS), real-time capabilities, or the ability to prioritize and
manage traffic.
MPLS was designed to address these deficiencies in TCP/IP
networking. The strength of MPLS lies in its packet-tagging
capabilities. MPLS provides a more efficient mechanism for
tagging and transporting data packets, which are labeled and routed
based on these tags. All traffic with the same label is treated the
same way.
