Multi Protocol Label Switching

Our Multi Protocol Label Switching (MPLS) training course is designed to provide a comprehensive introduction to MPLS, covering topics such as MPLS Label Switched Paths (LSPs) and MPLS Virtual Private Network (VPN) connections. This 1-day course is ideal for engineers working with MPLS in various applications, from IP VPNs to GMPLS in transmission networks. 

Participants will gain a solid understanding of MPLS, including its motivation, applications, packet forwarding, and architecture of MPLS-based IP-VPNs. The course also covers topics such as Forward Equivalence Class (FEC), MPLS label operations, Label Distribution Protocol (LDP), Virtual Private Networks (VPN), and MP-BGP configuration. 

Prerequisites for this course include a good understanding of IP networking and familiarity with OSPF and BGP, which can be obtained by attending our ‘Routing Protocol Principles – IP1306’ course. Join us for this interactive training session to enhance your knowledge and skills in Multi Protocol Label Switching.
