You're unlikely to need to interact with MPLS. Generally, the carrier/customer connection is ethernet/IP. The carrier classifies the frame/packet as it enters the network, and = adds an MPLS tag. Then the carrier routes based on MPLS tags. The tags = are stripped before the frame/packet leaves the network. 99% of the time when someone says, 'we use MPLS' what they really mean = is that their carrier uses MPLS to carry things around the carrier = network. Your customer will likely want Ethernet transport over your network -- = an L2 connection. -- AF mailing list [email protected] http://af.afmug.com/mailman/listinfo/af_af.afmug.com -- AF mailing list [email protected] http://af.afmug.com/mailman/listinfo/af_af.afmug.com
