Part 2: Mpls-Vpn Network Implementation and equipment configuration
Part 3: NETWORK DESIGN PROPOSAL

Scenario

A multinational Internet Service Provider (ISP) offers a range of internet services to customers. The company also offers Layer 3 VPN’s and Virtual Private LAN Services (VPLS) to corporate customers. The company has recently secured a contract with a major provider of pay (cable) television to deliver IPTV to its customers. I need to incorporate efficient delivery of IPTV services into its delivery capabilities. The company has not previously provided multicast services. The current network only supports unicast services. The company is in need of an efficient IPTV delivery method.

I expect that after IPTV is available to subscribers its number of subscribers will increase from the present number of 20,000 to 100,000 over the next 5 years.

Tasks

1. Design and implement Virtual Private LAN Services (VPLS) to meet the requirements of corporate customers.
2. Design an end-to-end IPTV functional architecture and implement the core network infrastructure using MPLS. The design should minimize costs by reducing bandwidth requirements while maintaining a high level of customer experience by providing high-quality video and fast channel changes.
3. Redesign the network infrastructure so that it meets the business requirements of the organization, and write a detailed proposal for consideration.
4. Describe the function and operation of a Virtual Private LAN Service (VPLS).
5. Describe the different sources of video content accessed by subscribers (end users) and the impact/challenges that each of these has on Network Service Providers.
6. Estimate the IPTV bandwidth required to service an area with 2000 subscribers. How can bandwidth requirements be contained as subscribers in the area increase?
7. Describe how content caching can reduce bandwidth requirements and improve customer experience. Describe a typical caching infrastructure architecture.
