For the ISP and Carrier Ethernet network I run, I use MPLS for various things. It provides wonderful segmentation of different communities (customers and uses). I use MPLS ELINE (p2p) extensively for Cellular Backhaul I use MPLS ELAN (mp2mp) in various places for emulating LAN’s over long distance I use MPLS L3VPN for various things… - Containing customer public internet routing - Containing customer cgnat private side - 6VPE for getting IPv6 across my ipv4-only core -Aaron From: NANOG [mailto:nanog-bounces () nanog org] On Behalf Of Etienne-Victor Depasquale Sent: Tuesday, April 28, 2020 8:44 AM To: NANOG Subject: Applications of MPLS in the metro area Hello ! I'm looking for what a network operator would consider a realistic reference deployment of MPLS within the metro area network. By "realistic reference", I'm asking about what a network operator would consider to be a typical, perhaps most common, application of MPLS technology.
From a bookish perspective, I understand MPLS well but have never implemented it in the scope of my current field of study (metro area networks). I would dearly like to get this "grounded" perspective from anyone who might care to share it.
