IP over MPLS
One of the benefits that MPLS offers service providers is the ability to take advantage of MPLS
traffic engineering capabilities to efficiently utilize the service provider network bandwidth, to
control traffic placement, and to achieve fast network resilience. This is accomplished through
IP-over-MPLS features.
Table 101 displays the individual Brocade devices and the IP over MPLS features they support.
