Tiivistelmä
The subject of the thesis was to study the implementation of MPLS VPN solutions in a Finnish service provider environment. The thesis consists of a theoretical framework and empirical study. The study was started by collecting and using existing data and theories about the topic. The MPLS VPN solutions of a service provider were studied as a practical approach.
The thesis mainly covered the Nokia (formerly Alcatel-Lucent) environment and solutions for MPLS VPN. The primary purpose of the thesis was to compare XAMK service provider course contents, which covers MPLS VPN, with the implementation of MPLS VPN technol-ogy in a Finnish service provider environment. The mentioned course provided a decent learning environment, including theory, configuration guide, and virtual laboratory environ-ment for exercising but only in the Cisco IOS environment. The XAMK service provider course could use the results of this thesis as an additional study source to familiarize stu-dents with the Nokia environment. A more significant impact could be made by providing a virtual environment for students to exercise, among other things, configuration examples provided by this thesis.
The study results were a simplified and handy guide of Nokia MPLS VPN solutions, mainly for junior network specialists or network specialist trainees who start working for service providers.
