Enterprise buyer's guide to Layer 3 MPLS VPN services

摘要

This month brings the text version of another seminar, the one I presented at MPLScon in New York City in mid-May, 2005. I hope that putting some words to it will clarify the posted slides. In addition, after all the prep work for two presentations in two months, economizing on the effort of writing seems like a very good idea right now! Due to space limitations, we'll focus on introductory material and MPLS L3 VPNs in this article. A following article will then discuss L2 VPNs, whether MPLS-based or not. For those who'd rather read the presentation, it can be found at http://www.netcraftsmen.net/welcher/seminars/mplscon05 -buyersguide.pdf. It is complementary to this article.
