| Abstract
Present day telecommunication industry innovations are
mainly driven by two major requirements, one - the convergence
in the consumer electronic devices to provide network
enabled services and two – the business growth
beyond the geographical boundaries which requires multi-point
connectivity; making enterprise LANs in multiple sites
appear as if they are on the same LAN. Both these requirements
have a common major need which is delivering “Triple
play”, an optimized pre-certified end-to-end voice
video and data solutions.
Wipro has developed a solution which answers the networking
needs of the above mentioned requirements by harnessing
the best features of the two major technologies in the
present day market. One – a Network Processor
(NP) based solution which gives a flexible and robust
solution for fast path processing and the second - Layer
2 MPLS based services(3), which support LAN and legacy
traffic, and are lower cost and simpler to manage. Virtual
Private LAN Service (VPLS) is a fast growing Layer 2
MPLS based service that answers the need of multi-point
connectivity. This paper looks at the two fastest growing
technologies NP and VPLS. It provides the features of
the Wipro VPLS solution on Intel® IXP2400™
NP(2) based development platform. The paper presents
the advantages and benefits of Wipro VPLS solution that
gives an edge over other VPLS solutions.
