Sorry I meant MLS.
Thanks Karen. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Karen E Young" To: "Simon Watson" Cc: Sent: Monday, July 14, 2003 4:45 PM Subject: Re[2]: CCNP ReCert Questions [7:72071] Simon, Careful there! Don't mistake MLS for MPLS. Two different animals entirely. MLS is Multi-Layer Switching and is strictly a LAN technology while MPLS (Multi-Protocol Label Switching) is predominantly used in the WAN. Here's some stuff on MPLS. http://www.convergedigest.com/Bandwidth/archive/010910TUTORIAL-rgallaher1.ht m http://www.mplsrc.com/ http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/732/Tech/mpls/mpls_presentations.shtml http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/732/Tech/mpls/mpls_techdoc.shtml Cisco Networkers 2001 Power session on MPLS: http://www.cisco.com/networkers/nw01/pres/pr/542/ Also, if you go to http://www.webtorials.com, you'll see a link for "MPLScon 2003 Conference Presentation Handouts". You'll need a Webtorials account but they're free. The links for creating an account or signing in are up at the top of the page. This is one of the best places to look since the information goes into a bit more depth than that on most sites.
