Agenda

● IP/MPLS in the Service provider Network● Planning tool● SDN in IP/MPLS a.k.a PCE● Use cases

IP Network

● Packet forwarding based on packet's header and routing table

● Distributed control plane– Routing protocol : OSPF, ISIS, BGP, RIP

– Hop-by-hop routing information propagation

– Distributed calculation

● Best path based on metric

● Packet forwarding follow the best path● Explicit routing/Traffic Engineering is

complicated/difficult– Policy based routing

– Metric manipulation

IP/MPLS Network

● Packet forwarding is based on label information● Used the existing IP routing infrastructure● Label distribution protocol

– MP-BGP, LDP, RSVP

● Traffic Engineering/Explicit routing is easier● Multiservice network

IP/MPLS Network (...)

● LER (Label Edge Router)– Push/Pop Label

● LSR (Label Switch Router)– Label Swapping

MPLS label

MPLS label (20 bit) Exp. Bit (3 bit) Stack bit (1 bit) TTL (8 bit)

L2 Header MPLS Label L3 Header Payload

L2 Header Label 1 Label 2 L3 Header Payload

L2 Header Label 1 ... Label N L3 Header Payload

Label Distribution Protocol

● LDP– Follow IP Routing protocol

● RSVP– Explicit path/Traffic Engineering

● MP-BGP– L3VPN, L2VPN, VPLS, EVPN
