What Is Mpls By: Tony Heywood | - What is MPLS?
MPLS is a technical term for Multiprotocal Label Switching. MPLS is a tool for allowing the fast transfer of data packets via telecommunications networks from one node to another. It was developed in the late 1990's as a way of providing much faster and more reliable data packet forwarding between IP routers. MPLS works in tandem with VPN systems to form an MPLS network.
The advantage of MPLS technology is that it works on a variety of different switching and cabling sy ... Tags:VPN, MPLS, internet
Wavelength Service In Optical Transport Networks By: Paul Ngai | - Optical WDM (Wavelength Division Multiplexing) networks are networks that deploy optical WDM fiber links where each fiber link carries multiple wavelength channels. An All Optical Network (AON) is an optical WDM network which provides end-to-end optical paths by using all optical nodes that allow optical signal to stay in optical domain without conversion to electrical signal. AONs are usually optical circuit-switched networks where circuits are switched by intermediate nodes in the granularity ... Tags:wavelength routing, OXC, OADM, GMPLS, G.709, SONET, WDM, lightpath
