Isocore Tests 10 Gbps MPLS Fast Reroute and BGP/MPLS VPNs

Isocore, which runs an independent internetworking lab in McLean, Virginia, completed a new round of testing for MPLS Fast Reroute capabilities. Fast Reroute is a key MPLS feature for preventing packet loss in the event of a link or node failure. Isocore's Fast Reroute MPLS configuration tested OC-192c Packet over SONET (POS) links using Avici Systems' TSR and SSR routers and Cisco Systems' 12400 Series Internet Routers. The testing identified many network scenarios in which interoperability was achieved between the vendors. Isocore plans a public demonstration of MPLS Fast Reroute interoperability following the MPLS 2002 International Conference (October 27-29) in Washington D.C. Isocore also completed a round of interoperability testing focused on BGP/MPLS-based Virtual Private Networks (VPNs). This round of testing successfully demonstrated the interoperability of different vendors' equipment in performing key functions which are critical for MPLS-based VPN deployment, such as VPN route distribution between Provider Edge (PE) routers via BGP, and PE routers' capability to provide isolation between multiple VPN Routing and Forwarding (VRF) tables while allowing overlapping IP address space in different VPNs. Vendors participating in the BGP/MPLS-based VPN tests were Cisco Systems with its Cisco 12400 Series Internet Routers, CoSine Communications with its IPSX 3500, Redback Networks with its SmartEdge 800, Ixia with its 1600T, NetTest with its InterWATCH 96000 and Spirent Communications with its AX4000.
