Ethernet over MPLS
Layer 2 transport over an IP/MPLS networkMultiple Layer 2 technologies, Ethernet dominating nowedaysPoint-2-Point (VPWS, Layer 2 VPN) and Multipoint-2-Multipoint (VPLS) servicesLayer 2 multicast using point-to-multipoint LSPs as an emergingservice

Tests on Juniper routers
The purpose of the tests was to assess the status of implementation of selected VPWS and VPLS features on commercially available routers. The selected features are either new or interesting for research and education networks.The ultimate goal of the tests was to verify if the Ethernet over MPLS technology fulfills selected requirements for Carrier Class Transport Network Technologies identified in [GN3-09-224_DJ1.1.1].Tests executed on Juniper Networks routers.Juniper MX-series routers (MX-240, MX-480 and MX-960), software 11.1R2.3.

Continuity CheckProtocolLinktrace ProtocolMPLS Trace
No MIPs or MEPs possible on transit routersContinuity Check Protocol was able to indicate loss and restorationof connectivityLinktrace was able to trace the connection but not able to locate the outageMPLS Trace was able to trace the path but not able to locate the outageMAC Ping also tested with positive results

The LSP was successfully rerouted to link P2-P3 when link P1-PE2 was disconnected.The time needed for service restoration was 31 ms.
