16. MPLS Theories
What is MPLS?
• Stands for Multi-Protocol Label Switching
• An IP standard originated from CISCO’s tag switching
• MPLS-enabled routers assign IP packets a “label with service class”,
then forward them along a “label switched path” based on the label
contents defining the IP packet priority
• Supports multiple network applications / services with different
network characteristics over a single IP infrastructure
16
17. What is MPLS VPN?
• General description
• Provides customers private connections among different locations
over IP backbone
• Support multiple services over a single network interface

20. Service Components of MPLS VPN
Site A
• MPLS service consists of 3 components:
CE Router
• MPLS PE router port (different bandwidth)
• CE router (installed in customer site)
Local Loop
• Local loop between PE port and CE router
PE
Router
• Two options for CE routers:
• Wireline service (customers provide their CE) MPLS
Core
• Managed service (CE provided by TEData)

23. Why customers use MPLS?
Reasons to use MPLS:
• Integrate multi-services, multi-networking requirements into a
single IP infrastructure
• Simplify network management by reducing number of devices
• Minimize operating costs for customers
• Support future growth by introducing new IP based services
without major network upgrade
• Combine the best capabilities of layer 2 and layer 3 networking
23
24. Target market segments
Multi-national corporations (MNCs)
MNCs with offices located in different countries
Medium sized companies with multi-locations
Service providers
Global carriers requiring MPLS coverage expansion by using ICI
(inter-carrier interconnect)
Domestic service providers in other countries who need to expand
MPLS business globally
Resellers (e.g. SI or equipment suppliers) with their customers
requiring MPLS service
24
26. Fully Resilient MPLS Network
Robust network design
Equipment diversity
Each MPLS PoP has at least 2 PE routers
Cable diversity
Cable systems are either fully protected by itself (e.g. RNAL from HK to
Taiwan) or with diversity (e.g. Flag and SMW4 between Egypt& London)
In case of cable outage, MPLS traffic is rerouted via other paths to maintain
service automatically
On-Net PoP diversity
In key countries and areas more than one PoP are set up
Extended-Net ICI diversity
For key countries with ICI partners (e.g. London), multiple ICI links in 26
different locations are built
30. MPLS Security of TEData
Provisioning
Each L3VPN has an internal VPN forwarding table (VRF) that is unique to each and
every customer
Each L2PW has a unique VC ID that is unique to each and every customer
Traffic of one VPN will not overlap with another one
Dedicated MPLS Equipment
MPLS services are terminated on dedicated devices that do not carry any public IP
traffic
Controlled Human Access to MPLS Equipment
Only authorized personnel is allowed to access the core MPLS network (with password
control)
Controlled Traffic to MPLS Network
Access control list is applied in all MPLS routers: only specific IP address range can pass
through 30

32. CoS characteristics & applications
CoS Characteristics Applications
High output priority traffic with Delay sensitive applications:
Gold minimal delay, packet loss and > voice / video conference
jitter
High priority traffic with low Mission critical applications:
packet loss but can tolerate larger > video streaming / signalling
Silver Plus
delay and jitter
Medium priority traffic that still Business critical applications:
requires bandwidth during > SAP, SNA, Oracle, Telnet
Silver
congestion
Lowest priority traffic without any Best effort traffic:
Bronze guarantee on delay, packet loss > Email, FTP, intranet
and jitter 32

34. Service Level Commitment
Service Availability
99.5% (target performance PoP to PoP – on net)
Latency
Determined By cities within and across zones
Packet Delivery
Up to 99.9%, depending on CoS
Jitter
20 ms (for gold class only)

36. IPSec Remote Site Access
Product Summary
A cost effective and secured way to allow small remote locations to connect to
MPLS VPN using Internet access
Internet access is based on xDSL (ADSL, SDSL, HDSL, VDSL), dedicated circuit,
wireless, or satellite technologies
A suite of protocols known as IPSec (with 3DES encryption & MD5 authentication)
is used to encrypt and securely transmit the data from the remote office to the
MPLS VPN
Encrypted traffic is tunnelled to one of Five TEData's G-Partners IPSec gateways
located in strategic PoPs throughout the world
