MPLS Transport Profile (MPLS-TP) Applicability: Use Cases and Design
Abstract
This document describes the applicability of the MPLS Transport
Profile (MPLS-TP) with use case studies and network design
considerations. The use cases include Metro Ethernet access and
aggregation transport, mobile backhaul, and packet optical transport.
