Elements and Performance Criteria
- Plan and design IP- MPLS network to meet business requirements
- Determine IP-MPLS network design requirements in consultation with enterprise customer
- Optimise factors affecting design
- Use label stacking to route MPLS packets in the network to build of MPLS services
- Dimension layer-3 generation of core backbone to allow MPLS IP-VPN to provide MPLS convergence services
- Use MPLS control plane to set up wavelengths
- Produce design topology of a MPLS network to include location and types of edge label switch routers (LSR) and core LSRs in agreement with enterprise customer
- Configure MPLS network and verify traffic engineering (TE) considerations
- Configure edge and core LSRs to provide secure methods of transporting IP packets in the MPLS network using layer 2 protocols
- Configure LSRs to provide toll bypass for convergence of voice and data over IP network
- Classify traffic in MPLS terms and configure edge LSR to sort traffic into forward equivalent classes (FECs)
- Install and remove two standardised signalling protocols for managing traffic engineering (TE) of MPLS paths
- Configure MPLS-TE to provide routing on diverse paths to avoid congestion and guarantee bandwidth services
- Configure VPN and provide a virtual private LAN service (VPLS)
- Configure a MPLS VPN tunnel for a customer network to provide multipoint-to-multipoint VPN connectivity
- Build a content hosting server into a MPLS based VPN to produce a media network
- Use virtual private LAN services (VPLS) as a VPN method for wide area network (WAN) multipoint-to-multipoint ethernet connectivity spanning multiple metropolitan areas
- Produce VPLS topology using an internet protocol IP-MPLS cloud with provider edge (PE) routers connecting VPLS domains associated with an enterprise customer
