- Aimed At
-
Those with some technical background and familiarity with data networking concepts who wish to acquire a broad overview of MPLS’s capabilities. This course is suitable for managers and less technical professionals who need a high-level overview of MPLS.
- Prerequisites
-
You should have some prior familiarity with data networking concepts and IP.
- Course in a Nutshell
-
This course provides a high-level overview of Multi Protocol Label Switching (MPLS), a central element of next generation networks. MPLS offers an IP-compatible, QoS-capable infrastructure that makes possible the convergence of voice, IP, ATM, Ethernet, and Frame Relay onto the same backbone network. MPLS provides the ability to combine the intelligence and scalability of routing with the reliability and manageability of traditional carrier networks. MPLS is the key to scalable virtual private networks (VPNs) and end-to-end quality of service (QoS).
