Progent's Cisco Qualified Consulting for Cisco IOS Multiprotocol Label Switching
Cisco IOS Software MPLS allows Internet Service Providers to implement smart environments that deliver a broad range of services over one system. This economical technology can be integrated seamlessly across any in-place environment, such as IP, Frame Relay, or 10BASE-T. Because Multiprotocol Label Switching is independent of connectivity protocols, subscribers with various connectivity interfaces can be combined on an MPLS edge without changing their existing systems.

Combining MPLS application components including layers 3 and 2 VPNs, Traffic Engineering (TE), MPLS QoS, Generalized MPLS, and IPV6 protocol enables the development of fast, expandable, and secure network environments that guarantee SLAs.

Internet service providers can accelerate their time to break even by up to a quarter and achieve an extra 50% of throughput capability by deploying MPLS VPNs, MPLS QoS, and MPLS Traffic Engineering rather than merely providing the conventional connectivity of Virtual Private Networks. Progent's Cisco-certified CCIE consultants can help ISPs with the design, set up, implementation, and support of shared public network solutions that take full advantage of MPLS technology to optimize throughput, deliver safe connectivity, and meet service-level agreement (SLA) guarantees.
