We are in the process of provisioning MPLS on an packet only (IP) based
infrastructure, primarily to cater to corporate VPN requirements. My
questions are as follows -
1. By provisioning an MPLS based VPN can I commit bandwidth guarantees
to my VPN customers (something like Frame Relay CIR).
2. I have read that MPLS VPN's seperate the Internet routing tables
from customer routing information. When a VPN is provisioned for a
customer, how does the routing actually happen? The customer would
prefer to run his own routing protocol between his sites, & how does a
service provider provision this.
3. I have come across an offering from AT&T, called Frame over IP,
wherein customers connect using Frame Relay & eventually get hooked on
to an IP (MPLS) cloud, which is the core of the AT&T network. Any
comments on this.
Kindly advice,
With warm regards,
Joseph.
