MPTLS-TP: The New Generation of Transport Networks

Speakers: Luca Martini, Cisco. It was 10 years ago that Nasser El-Aawar, and I started the pseudowire design, in a coffee shop in Colorado. Today, Pseudowires based on the original draft-martini are one of the prevalent clients of MPLS networks to offer a wide variety of services. Recently there has been a new trend toward Pseudowires without a control plane. Everything static! This trend is fueled by an emerging transport technology with looks very promising to replace the old SONET infrastructure. It is MPLS Transport Profile, or MPLS-TP. I will give an introduction, and overview of MPLS-TP as well as an update on the most recent developments. See more at: https://www.nanog.org/meetings/nanog4...
