National Knowledge NetworkPage 18 Multi Protocol Label Switching? ► IP services ► MPLS technology switches packets instead of routing ► Supports Layer 2 technologies such as ATM, FR, PPP, POS, Ethernet ( getting more and more popular)

National Knowledge NetworkPage 19 What Is a Virtual Private Network? ► VPN is a set of sites or groups which are allowed to communicate with each other ► VPN is defined by a set of administrative policies ► Policies established by VPN customers ► Policies could be implemented completely by VPN service providers ► Flexible inter-site connectivity ► Ranging from complete to partial mesh

National Knowledge NetworkPage 20 Multicast VoIP Intranet Extranet MPLS L3 VPNs ► Point to cloud single point of connectivity ► Easy grouping of users and services ► Enables content hosting inside the network ► Supports private overlapping IP addresses ► Scalable to over millions of VPNs ► Per VPN QoS DC Common Services IITB IGIB IGCARIITM CRRI IGAR IITD IITC IMT TIFR JNU IITK

National Knowledge NetworkPage 22 CSIR #1 Forwards IPv4 Packet How Does it Work? How Data Plane is Separated 1. PE1 imposes pre allocated label for the prefix 2. Core facing interface allocates IGP label 3. Core swap IGP labels 4. PE2 strips off VPN label and forwards the packet to CE2 as an IP packet IPv4 PE1 PE2 CE2 CE1 IPv4 CSIR #2 Receives IPv4 Packet !
