The Study And Design Of MPLS Based Enterprise Network

As the Internet booms, users are demanding more of its applications. Network traffic is frequently jammed due to the lack of effective technology to manage network traffic volume and and network bandwidth. When the current Internet expands to certain degree,it will face challenges in many aspects (bandwidth,routing, network scalability, QoS etc) . Current IP technology cannot meet that demand.Merging ATM technology with IP and merging routing with switching is a popular research subject.Although many researchers from industry and academia have proposed numerous new methods, yet people still cannot see the light at end of tunnel until MPLS (Multiprotocl Label Switching) is born.MPLS is a new technology in the broadband network.This technology combines the switching feature at the second layer and routing feature at the third layer. It is designated to deal with issues of group relay technology and other related problems in network. One of MPLS's applications is to construct MPLS VPN network.Based on the concepts of MPLS technology, this project has done full scale research and analysis on the MPLS system architecture, layer architecture and technical standards. This paper proposes a MPLS based solution to enterprise network with the consideration of every instuition's unique requirements.
