This document provides use case studies and network design
considerations for Multiprotocol Label Switching Transport Profile
(MPLS-TP).
In the recent years, MPLS-TP has emerged as the technology of
choice to meet the needs of transport evolution. Many service
providers (SPs) intend to replace SONET/SDH, TDM, ATM traditional
transport technologies with MPLS-TP, to achieve higher efficiency,
low operational cost, while maintaining transport characteristics.
The use cases for MPLS-TP include Mobile backhaul, Metro Ethernet
access and aggregation, packet optical transport. The design
considerations include operational experience, standards
compliance, technology maturity, end-to-end design and OAM
consistency, compatibility with IP/MPLS networks, and multi-vendor
interoperability. The goal is to provide reliable, manageable, and
scalable transport solutions.
The unified MPLS strategy - using MPLS from core to aggregation and
access (e.g. IP/MPLS in the core, IP/MPLS or MPLS-TP in aggregation
and access) appear to be very attractive for many SPs. It
streamlines the operation, reduce the overall complexity and
convergence issues, leveraging MPLS experience, and improve the
ability to support revenue generating services.
