QoS & MPLS Management

MPLS has emerged as the industry standard to enable IP packet transport to meet the growing demands for real-time services.

The success of MPLS-based QoS classifications in the core network is now driving network operators to begin deploying it into other areas of the end-to-end service path. MPLS is now being liberally deployed  in areas such as access, aggregation and backhaul to support fixed and wireless broadband services by adding MPLS capability to edge-devices, such as MSANs, DSLAMs and cellular base stations gateways.

 

As MPLS-based services gets deployed in increasing volumes, the challenges for network operators are becoming increasingly complex. Service providers want to ensure that their networks are able to meet|the QoS levels sold as part of the service level agreement (SLA), and they want the ability to anticipate problems in the supporting infrastructure that could lead to non-compliance.



Epitiro's ISP-I  provides the most comprehensive MPLS-based test capability for validating end-to-end MPLS infrastructure and ensuring your QoS contracts are being met. MPLS-based Test scripts can be configured on a pre-determined schedule run from any of Epitiro’s probes. In addition to KPIs the test script collects essential Location & Network Layer information.

ISP-I™ ™ can be used to:

  • Determine if your network is reliably delivering MPLS-based VPN services
  • Determine the actual performance impact of MPLS on subscriber service delivery
  • Benchmark the performance of deep packet inspection (MPLS and DPI) Vendor solutions
  • Validate the performance of QoS-aware mechanisms
  • Monitor and Measure MPLS and QoS-based SLA and Contracts
