Using MPLS-TP Commands
MPLS-TP is a carrier-grade packet transport technology that enables the move from SONET and SDH time-division multiplexing (TDM) to packet switching. MPLS-TP enables MPLS to be deployed in a transport network and to operate similarly to existing transport technologies. MPLS-TP enables MPLS to support packet transport services with a degree of predictability that is similar to the existing transport networks.
The goal of MPLS-TP is to provide connection-oriented transport for packet and TDM services over networks leveraging the widely deployed MPLS technology. Operations, administration, and maintenance (OAM) and resiliency features are defined and implemented in MPLS-TP to ensure:
•
Scalable operations
•High availability
•Performance monitoring
•Multidomain support
•Carrier-grade packet transport networks
An MPLS-TP tunnel has:
•Two endpoints where the tunnel is configure as a tunnel interface
•One or two bidirectional label switched path (LSP) pairs between the endpoints. If there are two pairs, then one is a working path, the second a protection path.
•Pair of bidirectional LSPs that are congruent.
•Where there is no control plane, the LSPs are configured at all the midpoints.
•The MPLS-TP tunnel is used to carry pseudowires.
Supported Network Elements
You can run the MPLS-TP commands on the following network elements:
•Cisco 7600 Series Routers
•Cisco Carrier Packet Transport (CPT) System
•Cisco ASR 9000 Series Aggregation Services Routers
•Cisco ASR 903 Series Aggregation Services Routers
