The Juniper PTX in 2011 was a pretty bold merge of the OTN and MPLS functionality into one box. They are marketing it as the “Converged Supercore” http://www.juniper.net/as/en/dm/supercore/. As the debate of packet vs. circuit switched networks has clearly been won by the packet side of the house. Arguably the the increasing demands of service provider bandwidth for triple play …
MVPN Multicast with Multi-Protocol BGP MPLS VPN on Cisco IOS
Below assumes you have the basic MPLS transport setup. MVPN or multicast vpn is deployed on Cisco gear using Multicast Distribution Trees (MDT). This information is encapsulated in the MPBGP MPLS sessions to be distributed into label switch paths (LSPs) for forwarding. The following code will produce a basic functioning Cisco IOS MDT multicast environment. A tutorial for that can …
Death to the Firewall
I have a new plan for an area that has three requirements. 1. 10gbps throughput with MPLS/VPN support to act as a PE node with MVPN support. 2. Traffic shaping and reduction of traffic. 3. Blacklisting of offenders who violate policy, DMCA/RIAA etc. Tradidtionally that would be a huge traffic shaping box that is through the roof if available at …
Nexus 3000

How to deploy MPLS VPN’s on Cisco gear
There is no easier way to simplify your enterprise routing and path isolation than implementing MPLS/VPNs RFC 4364. Label Distribution Protocol (LDP) is the transport method to insert a label into the header to be forwarded down the Label Switch Path (LSP) by the Label Switch Router (LSR) Most routers past the SOHO market support MPLS in hardware. On the …
