Summary

Services can indeed be developed using MPLS technology for Layer 2, Layer 3, and an enhanced portfolio of value-added service options. Service providers can use MPLS technology to differentiate themselves in the market by evolving service blocks and service bundles to enterprise customers. Further, IP/MPLS technology can be a foundation for service convergence as specific to next-generation networks. Enterprise customers can further drive the service opportunities as per their own requirements and use IP/MPLS as a mechanism to deploy architectures that facilitate segmentation and resource virtualization.
