Since my FAQ on the JNCIP-M continues to be one of the most popular posts I have written here on my blog, I guess it makes sense to compliment that with a similar FAQ for the JNCIE-M lab exam. For consistency, I will try and answer all the same questions I did for the JNCIP [...]

MPLS/BGP Provider-Provisioned VPNs, such as those proposed in RFC 4364 (formerly RFC 2547) or draft-kompella variants, suffer from some scalability issues due to the fact that all PE routers are required to have a full iBGP mesh in order to exchange VPN-IPv4 NLRI and associated VPN label information.  In a modern network consisting of a large number of [...]

MPLS-in-GRE & MPLS-in-IP

by jahil on 7 March 2009

JUNOS now support MPLS-in-GRE & MPLS-in-IP. You guys can now encapsulate the MPLS label stack for a packet with an IP header, making it possible to tunnel MPLS over networks that do not have MPLS enabled on their core routers. The JUNOS software su…

JUNOS VPLS on FE Interfaces

by jahil on 3 February 2009

TThere are numerous misconception about VPLS support on Juniper Fast Ethernet PICs. Here is a little quick workaround running VPLS on Juniper’s “PE-4FE-TX and PB-4FE-TX” PICs. This setup requires MPLS LSPs between PEs…

This paper will focus on an opportunity to revolutionize the way Metro Ethernet networks are built by applying the concept of MPLS Plug-and-Play, a technology developed by Juniper Networks. MPLS Plug-and-Play offers carriers a way to reduce the operating expense associated with deploying and managing MPLS-based Metro Ethernet networks while…
