LER B LER A LSR LSR MPLS Model • Routers that handle MPLS and IP are called Label Switch Routers (LSRs) • LSRs at the edge of MPLS networks are called Label Edge Routers (LERs) • Ingress LERs classify unlabelled IP packets and appends the appropriate label. • Egress LERs remove the label and forwarding the unlabelled IP packet towards its destination. • All packets that follow the same path (LSP- Label Switched Part) through the MPLS network and receive the same treatment at each node are known as a Forwarding Equivalence Class (FEC). LSP FEC

G. Concluding remarks - growth of network capacity and “Death of distance” phenomenon • Growth of network capacity reduction of information transmission costs • New generation of transmission systems – new ratio Cost of transmission/Bandwidth • PCM SDH/SONET DWDM • Bandwidth becoming a less dominating factor in cost of connection • Cost of one-bit-transmission has an obvious tendency to become very close to zero in long distance communications systems • “Flattened” networks • “Death of distance” phenomenon (F. Cairncross, 1997) • Challenges for operators
Bandwidth using • 32 terrestrial carriers connecting to the New York metropolitan area have a combined potential capacity of 818.2 Terabits per second. Of that, only 22.6 Terabits per second -- 2.8 percent -- of network bandwidth is actually in use • Int'l IP Using City Bandwidth, Bandwidth, Gbit/s Gbit/s London 550.3 9,5 Paris 399.4 9,3 Frankfurt 320.2 10,3 Amsterdam 267.1 8,2

Reference structure of access network NT - Network Termination CPE - Customer Premises Equipment AN – Access Node TP – Twisted pair FOC – Fiber optic PL – Power line CPE Access Network TP/Coax/Radio/FO/PL Core Network AN NT CPE • High cost of access networks - • 50-70% of the total cost of local telephone networks • Modems/ISDN, LL (E1) based on four-wire connection
B. Access networks go to broadband Local networks based on outdated principles are became a “bottleneck”, limiting subscriber’s access to modern services. Key forces: • New subscriber’s requirements to providing new services • New regulations • Development of new services in voice, data and video information in interactive and broadcasting mode # WWW pages with powerful video information # Multimedia applications Digital Video Broadcasting (DVB), Video-on-Demand (VoD), interactive TV • Emergence of alternative operators in local networks, who compete with incumbent operators in provisioning a wide set of additional services • Construction of high-speed core networks with a capacity of dozens and hundreds of Gbit/s • Wireless Technologies
Technology Trends • Data communications exceed telephony • Wireless/mobile subscribers exceed landline subscribers • Broadband on Wireless • Emergence of the Next Generation Networks
Business growing the broadband access Grow the market in three waves: • High-speed Internet access (HSIA) • Business access (start with underserved SOHO segment) • Residential multimedia (gaming/video/entertainment) MV Address new audiences (PC, TV, console) Residential Multimedia Build on existing infrastructure Business Access Move aggressively into HSIA High-speed Internet access TIME Today
