Monitoring Service Delivery in an MPLS Environment
VIAVI Solutions A growing number of enterprises depend on (or are considering) MPLS-based routing to guarantee high-bandwidth capacity for the real-time applications that require it. No matter where you are in the process of migration (either looking to deploy, installing the infrastructure, or working with service providers to use their infrastructure), understanding traffic patterns on your network can ensure you spend your organization’s IT budget effectively. Why MPLS? Traditional Layer 3 routing protocols, in addition to being processor-intensive, have no way to determine Layer 2 characteristics such as bandwidth saturation and the reliability of connections. Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) and frame relay technology were developed to address these problems, but these o
