    Implementing Cisco MPLS (MPLS)

    Cisco - Enterprise Networking
    The Implementing Cisco Multiprotocol Label Switching training teaches you the high-performance method for forwarding packets through a network. MPLS enables routers at the edge of a network to apply simple labels to packets. This practice allows the edge devices to switch packets according to labels, with minimal lookup overhead. MPLS integrates the performance and traffic-management capabilities of data link Layer 2 with the scalability and flexibility of network Layer 3 routing. When used in conjunction with other standard technologies, MPLS gives the ability to support value-added features. How You'll Benefit

    Acquire the skill of implementing MPLS high-performance methods for forwarding packets in a network
    Learn to configure routers at the network edge to apply simple labels to packets
    Gain the knowledge to enable edge devices, ATM switches, or existing routers to switch packets based on labels within the service provider core
    Master the skill of minimizing lookup overhead in the packet-switching process
    Gain proficiency in integrating the performance and traffic-management capabilities of data-link Layer 2 using MPLS
    Acquire the skill of combining the scalability and flexibility of network Layer 3 routing through MPLS
    Learn to leverage MPLS with other standard technologies to implement value-added features for service providers' networks
