Due to the exhaustion of IPv4 addresses, the transition to IPv6 has already begun using various transition mechanisms. In this paper comparison between two transition mechanism 6PE and 6to4 tunneling over MPLS (Multiprotocol Label Switching) based network has been performed. The experimental platform used is based on GNS3/Dynagen using emulated routers on which multiple TCP and UDP flows were g...

Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) is the latest technology in the evolution of routing and forwarding mechanisms for the core of the Internet. It ensures the reliable delivery of the Internet services with high transmission speed and lower delays. Traffic Engineering (TE) in MPLS is used for effectively managing the networks for efficient utilization of network resources. MPLS technology mak...

This document describes the applicability of the MPLS Transport Profile (MPLS-TP) with use case studies and network design considerations. The use cases include Metro Ethernet access and aggregation transport, mobile backhaul, and packet optical transport.

The highly dynamic nature of the current network traffics, makes the network managers to exploit the flexibility of the state-of-the-art paradigm called SDN. In this way, there has been an increasing interest in hybrid networks of SDN-MPLS. In this paper, a new traffic engineering architecture for SDN-MPLS network is proposed. To this end, OpenFlow-enabled switches are applied over the edge of ...

Currently, a viable solution to provide multicast provision over a multiprotocol label switch with traffic engineering (MPLS-TE) domain is unavailable because of the missing link able to couple multicast traffic distribution with an MPLS-TE enabled network. This is due to the limited or less research investigation that was done in this area. Most of the investigation methods tackle the problem ...

The purpose of this white paper is to present discussion and findings that conclude that Cisco MPLS-based VPNs are as secure as their layer 2 counterparts such as FrameRelay and ATM. This document details a series of tests were carried out on a Cisco router test bed validating that MPLS based VPNs (MPLS-VPN) provide the same security as Frame-Relay or ATM. ATM and Frame-Relay have a reputation ...

BACKGROUND This study investigates the safety and feasibility of transumbilical single-port laparoscopic salpingectomy (SPLS) using conventional laparoscopic instruments compared to conventional multi-port laparoscopic salpingectomy (MPLS) for surgical treatment of tubal pregnancy. MATERIAL AND METHODS We conducted a retrospective analysis of 63 patients with tubal pregnancy who underwent SPL...

MPLS (Multi-Protocol Label Switching) enhances the possibility to engineer the traffic on IP networks by allowing explicit routes. Though IGP (Interior Gateway Protocol) routing has proven its scalability and reliability, effective traffic engineering (TE) has been difficult to achieve in public IP networks, because of the limited functional capabilities of conventional IP technologies. Without...

This document presents a set of requirements for Point-to-Multipoint(P2MP) Traffic Engineered (TE) Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) Label Switched Paths (LSPs). It specifies functional requirements for solutions in order to deliver P2MP applications over a MPLS TE infrastructure. It is intended that solutions that specify procedures for P2MP TE LSP setup satisfy these requirements. Yasukawa...
