Progent's Cisco Qualified Consulting Services for Cisco IOS Software Multiprotocol Label Switching
Cisco IOS Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) enables Internet Service Providers to implement smart networks that support a broad selection of services over one system. This economical technology can be integrated transparently across any in-place infrastructure, such as internet protocol, ATM, or 10BASE-T. Since Multiprotocol Label Switching is isolated from access protocols, subscribers with various access links can be combined on an Multiprotocol Label Switching edge without modifying their existing environments.

Combining MPLS application components such as MPLS VPNs, Traffic Engineering (TE), MPLS QoS, Generalized MPLS, and IPV6 protocol allows the creation of high-performance, scalable, and protected network environments that guarantee SLAs.

ISPs can reduce their time to break even by as much as a quarter and realize an additional 50% of bandwidth capability by deploying MPLS VPNs, MPLS Quality of Service, and MPLS Traffic Engineering rather than only installing the plain vanilla functions of VPNs. Progent's Cisco qualified CCIE engineers can help Internet service providers with the design, configuration, implementation, and provisioning of intelligent public network environments that derive all the benefits of Cisco's MPLS to maximize throughput, deliver safe connectivity, and meet service-level agreement (SLA) guarantees.
