Troubleshooting Any Transport over MPLS Based VPNs

  • Sample Chapter is provided courtesy of Cisco Press.
  • Date: Jun 10, 2005.

Chapter Description

MPLS Layer 3 VPNs allow a service provider to provision IP connectivity for multiple customers over a shared IP backbone, while maintaining complete logical separation of customer traffic and routing information. Learn more about MPLS Layer 3 VPNs in this sample chapter from Cisco.
