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
for the new generation of packet transport. Many service providers
(SPs) are working to replace the legacy transport technologies, e.g.
SONET/SDH, TDM, and ATM technologies, with MPLS-TP for packet
transport, in order to achieve higher efficiency, lower operational
cost, while maintaining transport characteristics.
The use cases for MPLS-TP include Metro Ethernet access and
aggregation, Mobile backhaul, and packet optical transport. The
design considerations discussed in this documents ranging from
operational experience; standards compliance; technology maturity;
end-to-end forwarding and OAM consistency; compatibility with
IP/MPLS networks; multi-vendor interoperability; and optimization
vs. simplicity design trade off discussion. The general design
principle is to provide reliable, manageable, and scalable transport
solutions.
