Aricent MPLS Overview :
Aricent MPLS (Multi Protocol Label Switching)software is an efficient and portable implementation of the label switching capability mechanism as required by industry standards. It supports RSVP extensions for traffic engineering (RSVP-TE), Label Distribution Protocol (LDP) with Constraint-based Routed Label Switched Paths (CR-LSP), MPLS Forwarding Module and Diff-Serv aware signaling.

Aricent MPLS Features:
- Configurable as LER or LSR.
- Traffic Engineering (TE) tunnels using RSVP-TE.
- Basic and extended Label Distribution Protocol (LDP) mechanisms.
- Diff-Serv aware E-LSP and L-LSP signaling.
- Constraint-based routed LSP (CR-LSP).
- RSVP-TE and CR-LSP tunnel modifications.
- Multiple FEC classifications based on:
- IP Address Prefix.
- Host Address.
- Downstream On Demand Independent and Ordered control label distribution modes.
- Conservative Label Retention mode.
- Loop detection using path vectors and hop counts (CR-LDP).
- Stacked LSPs.
- Provides Loop detection using RRO (RSVP-TE).
- RSVP-TE Hello message extensions for rapid detection of node failures.
- LSP Preemption (Setup and Holding).
- Resource Class Affinity Attribute handling.
- Ethernet and ATM interface.
- Pre-integrated with Aricent IP, Aricent RIP, Aricent TCP, Aricent OSPF, Aricent QoS and Aricent SNMP.
- Dynamic trace level configuration.
- Completely configurable through SNMP and CLI.
- Conforms to Aricent Architecture for Portability Release (FSAP2), thus ensuring highly portable code, which uses flexible buffer and timer management libraries.
Aricent MPLS Benefits
Aricent MPLS reduces the time to market for OEMs and VARs who wish to incorporate the MPLS functionality into their switching/routing devices.
