Course Overview:
The half-day MPLS Traffic Engineering Tutorial examines the fundamental enhancements made to existing routing (OSPF and IS-IS) and signaling protocols (LDP and RSVP) that enable MPLS to determine the best route, given a set of stated constraints. Also discussed are the related topics of QoS-enabled MPLS and the mechanisms that are employed by MPLS to ensure fast path restoration in the event of an outage.
Course Outline:
Section 1: Introduction to MPLS & Traffic Engineering (TE)
Section 2: MPLS TE with Constraint-Based Routing
Section 3: MPLS TE and MPLS Signaling
Section 4: MPLS TE with Protection & Optimization of TE LSP Tunnels
Intended Audience:
This course is intended for those who already have a familiarity with MPLS technology and want to learn more about MPLS Traffic Engineering. It is assumed that the attendee has a basic understanding of MPLS protocols and how MPLS packet forwarding operates. The intended audience for this tutorial are those who work in marketing, product management, quality assurance, customer support, applications engineering, systems engineering, network operations staff or those development engineers who are new to the area of MPLS Traffic Engineering.
