Progent's Cisco-certified Consulting for Cisco IOS Software Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS)
Cisco IOS Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) enables ISPs to implement smart networks that deliver a wide range of functions over one system. This economical solution can be integrated transparently over any in-place environment, such as IP, Frame Relay, or 10BASE-T. Since MPLS is independent of connectivity technologies, customers with various connectivity links can be aggregated on an MPLS edge without modifying their current environments.

Integration of MPLS application components including MPLS VPNs, MPLS-Traffic Engineering, MPLS QoS, Generalized MPLS, and IPV6 protocol enables the creation of high-performance, expandable, and protected networks that guarantee SLAs.

Internet service providers can reduce their time to profitability by as much as 25% and realize an additional 50% of bandwidth availability by deploying MPLS VPNs, MPLS QoS, and MPLS Traffic Engineering as opposed to only providing the plain vanilla functions of Virtual Private Networks. Progent's Cisco-certified CCIE engineers can assist Internet service providers with the development, configuration, deployment, and support of shared public network solutions that take full advantage of Cisco's MPLS to optimize performance, provide secure connectivity, and meet service level agreements.
