MPLS Capability
MTS6000 comes with MPLS capability. It provides a complete solution for MPLS, Layer 2, and Layer 3 virtual private networks (VPNs) by using MPLS based virtual private wire service (VPWS) and VPLS (virtual private LAN services). MTS1928 can operate the following functions:
- MPLS label operation in the core
- VPWS ( L2 MPLS pseudo-wires or L2 MPLS PWE)
RFC4448—encapsulation methods for transport of Ethernet over MPLS
Provides a point-to-point Layer 2 virtual circuit that allows extension of a LAN seg ment across MPLS cloud networks.
Provides the MPLS lookup at the end of the PW to determine the final output port (after decapsulating or terminating the packet)
- VPLS
Provides a point-to-multipoint service
Support for hub and spoke VPN and mesh VPN topologies
Provides a full L2 lookup at the end of the PW based on the inner L2 header

Application Example

|
MTS6000 as a high capacity switch system, is best suited for central office applications to aggregate multiple 10G or GE rings and connect them to the MPLS core network.
|
Conneting Access Networks to MPLS Core
The availability of 10G line cards in MTS6000 supporting MPLS allows the access network built based on Dowslake MTS series switches to connect to the core MPLS network. With its L2/L3/L4 capability, MTS6000 organises incoming and outgoing traffics in whatever way the user needs, such as labeling, tagging, forwarding, adding or dropping, prioritizing etc., with additional security.
In such situation, MTS6000 plays the dual role as the edge switch for the MPLS core, and the aggregation switch for the access rings.
|
Aggregation of 10G Rings
As illustrated above, one MTS6000 can support up to 32x10G ports, making it possible to aggregate up to 16 rings with each of them having 10G capacity.
|
Aggregation of GE Rings
Similar to the aggregation of 10G rings, MTS6000 can also handle up to 48 GE rings (4 line cards of up to 24xGE ports each).
|
Complete Redundancy
The redundant design of the system control, switch fabric and power supply makes the user worry free. Also, cross-card redudnancy is available. For example, user can connect 10G port from line card A and another 10G port from line card B to build a ring, so in case one of the line cards is down, the built-in protection will allow traffics to go in the other direction of the ring without making the ring broken.
