Event: MPLS 2010, Washington DC
Author(s): Arman Maghbouleh, President (Cariden)
A wealth of information is available about MPLS standards, but little information is available about what is actually deployed and why. This study presents the results of a survey of 59 worldwide telecommunication providers. The survey results confirm the success of MPLS as a basis for service delivery and traffic engineering. The results also point to interesting findings such as vendor preferences in MPLS protocol choice, more variation in protocol choice for Layer 2 services than Layer 3 services, perseverance of single-service networks alongside multiservice networks, a tendency for keeping to the basics as much as possible, and extremely long adoption cycles.
