UCLPv1 HEAnetUCLPv1 HEAnetOverviewOverview

2

• Main goal: To adapt UCLPv1.5 system to HEAnet's networks.

• Provide software to establish and control 2 connection types:– ERS (Ethernet Relay Service) MPLS connection in VLAN mode using subinterfícies– EWS (Ethernet Wire Service) MPLS connection PORT mode with Q-in-Q encapsulation

• Create a UCLP release compatible with HEAnet’s network elements and architecture
