Implementing Cisco MPLS (MPLS)
Description
Duration: 5 days
Version: 3.0
Continuing Education credits: 40 points
Schedule of CLC-eligible Courses: here
Price in Cisco Learning Credits (CLCs): 43
Note: Cisco may charge you VAT or Sales Tax if and where applicable.
The Implementing Cisco MPLS (MPLS) is an instructor-led or virtual instructor led course that teaches you the 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 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. When used in conjunction with other standard technologies, MPLS gives the ability to support value-added features.
