Implementing Cisco MPLS (MPLS)
Implementing Cisco MPLS 2.2 (MPLS)
Implementing Cisco MPLS
(MPLS) is an instructor-led 5 day course that is part of the Cisco CCIP certification track. The course reflects the latest developments in network design and technologies, using real-world scenarios to help reinforce the learning of key objectives.
Service providers and enterprises are faced with many challenges in terms of customer demand, including an ongoing need for value-added services.
Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) is a high-performance method for forwarding packets through a network. MPLS enables routers at the edge of a network to apply simple labels to packets. This practice allows the edge devices—ATM switches or existing routers in the center of the service provider core—to switch packets according to labels, with minimal lookup overhead. MPLS integrates the performance and traffic-management capabilities of data link Layer 2 with the scalability and flexibility of network Layer 3 routing.
The CTCLC Difference
Current Technologies Computer Learning Center uses REAL CISCO EQUIPMENT for our labs. Our certified instructors will help guide you to a sucessful completion of your training. Our Instructors are CCIE, CCNP, CCIP, CCVP, and CCSP qualified. CTCLC has convenient day or night schedules to fit your needs. We can also do onsite classes with our top notch portable labs. In our Cisco courses, EVERY STUDENT HAS THEIR OWN POD OF CISCO EQUIPMENT. Students do not share equipment. Our instructors are the very best and give 110% to their Students. We care about every student we train and we have a free resit policy for all of our courses for the same revision. You will not find a better training experience anywhere. Current Technologies Computer Learning Center is Cisco Learning Partner, Microsoft Gold Certified Partner for Learning Solutions (CPLS), CompTIA Learning Alliance Member, EC-Council Accredited Training Center, and many others. We offer the highest quality, authorized training that you will find anywhere. |
