Successfully completed MPLS Interoperability Test Event
The demonstration consisted of a network running the two major MPLS signalling protocols in a hierarchical manner: RSVP-TE was used in the core and LDP at the edge of the network allowing VPN services to be established over the hierarchical network.
To ensure the success of the event, a one week hot-staging event with all the participating vendors was conducted before the MPLS World Congress. It took place at the EANTC (European Advanced Networking Test Center) in Berlin, Germany. The test plan was defined by the Interoperability Working Group of the MPLS Forum, including Agilent Technologies, Alcatel, Avici Systems, EANTC, Nortel Networks and UNH IOL (University of New Hampshire Interoperability Lab).
