IP Good Enough
Well-architected,
worked out in detail stuff above
NOT!
transport
Realization: cant network
predict the future stuff below
Make it reasonable
Make it flexible
Make it extensible
Connection-oriented
Does everything and
does it well stuff above
Anticipated all transport
future uses and network
factored them in ATM
Philosophical
mismatch with IP
Tunnels
Drop a packet in, and out it comes at the
other end without being IP routed
Explicit (source) routing (circuits)
Label stack
2-label stack: outer label defines the
tunnel; inner label demultiplexes
Layer 2 independence

Why Tunnels?
Cant IP route
Non-IP packets
IP packets with private addresses
Dont want to IP route
BGP-free core
Multicast
Traffic Engineering
Fast reroute
Guaranteed bandwidth
Probably others
Connection-oriented paradigm nicely
complements IPs connectionlessness
IP MPLS (RSVP-TE)
All nodes must be Only the two ends
told of failure of the link need be
told (no signaling)
Fast propagation, Local operation:
fast SPF trigger: explicit routing;
how stable? more stable
One step to full Two step process:
reconvergence detour + converge

Guaranteed Bandwidth
RFC 2547
New service recent deployment
Give it a shot, or run like hell? Or wait?
Layer 2 VPNs
Old service lots of deployment
New transport is it Good Enough?
Guaranteed bandwidth, Diff Serv, ?

Things to Ponder
Vendor
MPLS geek
Protocols freak
Neutral about ATM
IP rules!
Reasonably agnostic
