Tiivistelmä
Multiprotocol Label Switching has become a key technology in today’s IP technology for service providers and corporations that prefer to use remote connectivity. Enterprises are attracted towards service providers which provide MPLS VPNs. It has attracted a large number of customers due to the certain advantages over other VPN technologies like Frame Relay and ATM. Due to the unique features possessed by MPLS VPN, such as VoIP by CoS, scalable bandwidth, voice and data on a single platform through various sources, today MPLS VPN has become the leading technology in IP technology.
The main objective of this thesis was to develop an understanding of the nature of MPLS VPN technology. The MPLS VPN technology is described briefly, and a network scenario is illustrated to examine the different communication protocols.
The practical part was carried out in a GNS3 simulator. For the practical purpose, 7200 series routers were used. A Wireshark network analyzer was also used to examine the different protocols used for connectivity.
