Technology - IP Techniques 6 - MPLS RSVP-TE, Pseudowires, VPNs & NGNs

Synopsis

In this report we discuss RSVP-TE – the most important method of establishing the Multiprotocol Label Switched Path – and the MPLS techniques fast rerouting, pseudo-wires and Layer 2 VPNs. We also discuss the various approaches to Next Generation Networks, including the ambitious ITU and ETSI TISPAN standardisation efforts and Cisco’s practical techniques, which focus on multicast and upstream ‘Video 2.0’ delivery.

"We wanted to extend our Com World Series of telecoms industry events to the South Pacific region and we were in urgent need of a partner in the region who could assist us with confirming the involvement of governments, telcos and more. Paul Budde and his team executed this perfectly. Paul also provided us with very high quality reports on every aspect of the project, including an amazingly thorough and actionable report on the conference presentations and discussion."
