Sorry for the typo the rfc is 3036 you can follow this link :

>From pass experience i think Cisco prefers LDP when deploying a VPN network
and RSVP-TE when doing traffic engineering

guys,

thanks for your imput .

yes i was loosely discribing MPLS ...it does have all the functions you 
state... and more ,

i must be mistaken about the RVSP because i seem to remeber reading 
somewhere that cisco is favoring RSVPand that there LDP is based on this

but hey i must be mistaken .

also the RFC you list does not come up as valid ont the ITEF...please can 
you re-send this

many thanks

Hi;

I am using windows me, which I experience problem while using
reverse telenet.  I am able to
perfrom reverse telnet to other router, but can get out the session. no

I am uisng windows 2000 as telnet server, unforunately, it just
allowed one user to telnet into the server.

Any freeware available in the market.

RE: Isn't MPLS basically just ATM PNNI, but for layer 3? [7:5723]

2001-05-24 Thread Marc-Andre Giroux

Steve,
MPLS is alot more then just ATM PNNI at layer 3. Your statement is
semi true when talking about MPLS VPN's the concept does come from ATM but
there is so much more you can do with it go read on traffic engineering, the
fish bowl effect, valued added services (VPNs) and the network protection.

As for your other statement saying that cisco uses RSVP and everyone
else doesn't. This also is wrong. Cisco uses TDP wich is a label
distribution protocol that is proprietary but they also support the standard
LDP (RFC 3630) that Juniper and Everyone else are supporting. Juniper
personnaly doesn't have as much support for LDP then RSVP-TE (rsvp has
existed for a couple of years its the TE extensions that are used in Traffic
engineering). But when you start talking about this be sure to know what you
are talking about. BTW you can't use LDP or TDP to do MPLS
traffic-Engineering ( and this is the killer app of MPLS).

I hope this clarifies a few things, I also hope you don't take this
the wrong way but go read on the juniper site about RSVP-TE it will clarify
alot of things for you. Hope this was helpfull and if you have any questions
don't be shy.

hi,

i to have been reading alot and working with MPLS.

i personally liken it to Switching more than routing
...i know it uses BGP and also uses static routes,but essentially it just 
switches packets over pre-defined paths from device to device ...

I also see a future for this simply in the Telco enviroment everyone 
(cisco Juni and foundry are supporting it ...albeit in different forms..cisc

is using RSVP and everyone else isn`t) and the speed increases seem to be 
worth it


but as ever only my workload and time will tell.

Does anyone on this list have a indept knowledge of mpls? 
If you have knowledge on MPLS-VPN , VPN-ipv4 , ospf TE, colors, ospf opaque
, rsvp te , diffserv , Fastreroute & autobandwith and are seeking to debate
and share information on these email me. I am trying to form a MPLS alias.

how FRR setups its second lsp [7:4559]

2001-05-15 Thread Marc-Andre Giroux

Like Juniper, Cisco relies on global repair and local repair to assure Link
Protection. The global repair is solely based on a RSVP PathErr message
going back to the ingress router (with error code of "Notify" and an error
value of "Notification of local repair"). Once received, the ingress takes
appropriate actions to create a new LSP. 
For local protection, Cisco uses a different mechanism then Juniper. This
mechanism is described in:
draft-swallow-rsvp-bypass-label-01

What is called detour in Juniper terminology is here called a bypass tunnel.
The main difference between bypass tunnel and detour is that the bypass
tunnels are not associated with any LSP. Bypass tunnel are associated and
created to bypass a link that may fail. Every LSP that is using a particular
link between two routers may use the bypass tunnel created for that given
link. This, as the draft mention, improves the scalability of the mechanism
since every LSP does not have to establish its own bypass tunnels. Since
many LSP may use the same bypass tunnel, it is important to have a means for
the merge node to know to which LSP a particular packet is belonging to. To
solve this, the label associated with the bypass tunnels is stacked on top
of the original label. The stacked label is removed by the penultimate hop
of the bypass tunnel so that the merge node only sees the label it was
expecting to receive before the failure occurred.

 > 
If the node of local repair, R2, and merge node, R3, were not directly
connected to each other (another router between the two), R2 would not know
which label it should use to communicate with R3 since labels are only
significant for a given link. To solve that, the draft uses the label record
option of the ROUTE_RECORD object. With that option, upstream nodes could
learn about downstream labels not directly connected to the same link.
Label space is also a concern. Let suppose that R3 has a per interface label
space.  At the creation or the primary LSP, R3 binds a label based on the
interface the LSP is coming from. But, if the one link fails and the bypass
tunnel becomes active the same label will then arrived by another interface.
Since R3 has a per interface label space, it will not be able to recognize
it as a valid label or worst, the packet will be sent through the wrong LSP.
The draft is unclear about how this should be solved. This is my first
question the second is according to cisco the bypass tunnel is standby
statis the problem I can't understand is RSVP uses the local IGP to setup
the LSP. OSPF does not have the capabilities to see 2 paths it can only see
its next hop. Did they modify ospf to recompute a route while blocking R3
from being the next hop? Or is the 2nd tunnel setup another way?

Use show command in juniper which is equivalent to show run and u can use
