Implementing Mpls Transport Profile - Cisco ASR 9000 Series Configuration Manual

Implementing MPLS Transport Profile

This module describes how to implement MPLS transport profile (MPLS-TP) on the router. MPLS-TP
supported by IETF enables the migration of transport networks to a packet-based network that efficiently
scale to support packet services in a simple and cost-effective way. MPLS-TP combines the necessary existing
capabilities of MPLS with additional minimal mechanisms in order that it can be used in a transport role.
MPLS transport profile enables you to create tunnels that provide the transport network service layer over
which IP and MPLS traffic traverse.
