VPLS over MPLS-TP
The sections below provide an overview of VPLS over MPLS-TP:
Multiprotocol Label Switching Overview
The Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) Transport Profile (TP) enables you to create tunnels that provide
the transport network service layer over which IP and MPLS traffic traverse. MPLS-TP tunnels enable a
transition from Synchronous Optical Networking (SONET) and Synchronous Digital Hierarchy (SDH)
time-division multiplexing (TDM) technologies to packet switching to support services with high bandwidth
requirements, such as video.
