Summary

This chapter covered ATM MPLS design concepts. Different ATM MPLS architectures were presented, and detailed explanations of LCN requirements and LVC calculations were given.

This chapter ended with a discussion of LSC redundancy options and benefits. You are now ready to delve into MPLS configuration in multiservice switching networks.

Network design is an ongoing process. Network status and values need to be calculated and measured periodically, providing a feedback loop that refines the design.
