Cisco Systems said MPLS deployments have more than doubled over the past year by customers such as Bell Canada, BellSouth, BT, T-Systems, Infonet Services, O2, and Telecom Italia. The company now has over 200 MPLS deployments worldwide.
Cisco Systems also announced a new capability called “IOSMPLS Bandwidth-Assured Layer 2 Service” that enables service providers to connect any transport at Layer 2 over a single IP/MPLS converged infrastructure. The new Cisco MPLS Bandwidth-Assured Layer 2 Services architecture provides increased resiliency with MPLS Fast Reroute for AToM circuits, QoS prioritization using Differentiated Services, and better utilization of bandwidth with MPLS traffic engineering. The new capabilities are shipping in the current Cisco IOS Software releases 12.0(24)S, 12.0(25)S, and 12.0(26)S.
