RE: Applications of MPLS in the metro area

[<adamv0025 () netconsultings com>]

Hi,

So where the books talk about PEs -think of your metro nodes here (basically converting the metro into an MPLS network 
-or making it part of your existing MPLS core) (you might not have a classic design where PEs hang off of P-Core nodes 
and might have just rings of PEs in your metro area)  

And where the books talk about various L3VPN and L2VPN services that’s basically what you can offer over your metro 
-now that it’s been converted to a fully-fledged MPLS network.

Ranging from multicast L3VPNs for 3PALY services through L2 p2p|p2mp|mp2mp services for Dat-Center-Interconect, to 
network-slicing buzzword (cause with VRFs and Traffic Engineering you can slice your metro area network whichever way 
you like).

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.

Cheers,
