Product Data Sheet / Brochure

Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS)
uses BGP to advertise routes across Label Switched Paths (LSPs), but uses simple labels to forward packets from any Layer 2 or
Layer 3 protocol, which reduces complexity and increases performance; supports graceful restart for reduced failure impact;
supports LSP tunneling and multilevel stacks
Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) Layer 3 VPN
allows Layer 3 VPNs across a provider network; uses Multiprotocol BGP (MP-BGP) to establish private routes for increased
security; supports RFC 2547bis multiple autonomous system VPNs for added flexibility; supports IPv6 MPLS VPN
Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) Layer 2 VPN
establishes simple Layer 2 point-to-point VPNs across a provider network using only MPLS Label Distribution Protocol (LDP);
requires no routing and therefore decreases complexity, increases performance, and allows VPNs of non-routable protocols;
uses no routing information for increased security; supports Circuit Cross Connect (CCC), Static Virtual Circuits (SVCs), Martini
draft, and Kompella-draft technologies
Routing policy
allows custom filters for increased performance and security; supports ACLs, IP prefix, AS paths, community lists, and aggregate
policies
Layer 3 services
Address Resolution Protocol (ARP)
determines the MAC address of another IP host in the same subnet; supports static ARPs; gratuitous ARP allows detection of
duplicate IP addresses; proxy ARP allows normal ARP operation between subnets or when subnets are separated by a Layer 2
network
User Datagram Protocol (UDP) helper
redirects UDP broadcasts to specific IP subnets to prevent server spoofing
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP)
simplifies the management of large IP networks and supports client and server; DHCP Relay enables DHCP operation across
subnets
Quality of Service (QoS)
Nested QoS
provides a built-in QoS engine that supports nested QoS (Same to hierarchical QoS) and can implement a hierarchical scheduling
mechanism based on ports, user groups, users, and user services.
Traffic policing
supports Committed Access Rate (CAR) and line rate
Congestion management
supports FIFO, PQ, CQ, WFQ, CBQ, and RTPQ
Weighted random early detection (WRED)/random early detection (RED)
delivers congestion avoidance capabilities through the use of queue management algorithms
Other QoS technologies
supports traffic shaping, MPLS QoS, and MP QoS/LFI
Security
Dynamic Virtual Private Network (DVPN)
collects, maintains, and distributes dynamic public addresses through the VPN Address Management (VAM) protocol, making
VPN establishment available between enterprise branches that use dynamic addresses to access the public network; compared
to traditional VPN technologies, DVPN technology is more flexible and has richer features, such as NAT traversal of DVPN
packets, AAA identity authentication, IPSec protection of data packets, and multiple VPN domains
IPSec VPN
supports DES, 3DES, and AES 128/192/256 encryption, and MD5 and SHA-1 authentication
