Telecommunications Carrier MPLS and VPN Networks

Knowledge and configuration examples of virtual private networks (VPN) based on MPLS. Learned an overview of MPLS concepts such as control plane and forwarding, RSVP traffic engineering, LDP, Layer 3 VPN, Next-Generation Multicast Virtual Private Networks (MVPN), Layer 2 BGP VPN, and network circuits. Layer 2 LDP and Virtual Private LAN. service (VPLS). This topic also covers Junos OS-specific implementations of Layer 2 control instances and the active interface for VPLS.

On completion of this subject, I acquired practical working knowledge of:

  • MPLS Fundamentals
