 Limitations of the present
scenario
• Bandwidth on Demand – Not possible (Dynamic
Bandwidth allocation not possible)
2. As the organization grows, number of links becomes
more. Network becomes more complex and it
becomes difficult to maintain the reliability.
3. As the organization grows present networking
solution becomes costly since we will have to invest
on Multiple links and Networking equipments.
4. Security, Maintenance of Network Elements is
customer’s responsibility in present scenario.
5. Provisioning & Commissioning time is more.
New Choice -MPLS VPN

In this scenario
Ease of Implementation (Only the
local lead at both ends are to be
built & charged)
Scalability – Addition and Removal
of Sites can be done
instantaneously
New Choice to Customer ..
contd

SLA can be entered with customer.

Bandwidth on Demand can be provided
instantly and can vary as required.

 Why MPLS based VPNs?
Security is the responsibility of BSNL MPLS
Network.
• ( Company will be responsible for the Security of
the Information and network in a Point to Point
leased lines.)
 Simple Network Implementation
 Easy to configure & Manage.
 QoS, CoS and better Traffic Engineering.
 Easy Network Expansion at Customer
Premises.
 Easy Introduction of New Services
( Multicasting, VoIP, Hosting over the same link )
Why MPLS based VPNs ?

Mobile workers can dial up on a secure

network to access company information.
Flexible reconfiguration
(Instantaneous Addition and
Deletion possible).
With Growing Internet Based
Applications MPLS VPN becomes a
necessity.
High Cost & Complexity
Small Offices – Minimum Links. As the sites
increases – the number of links increases
and thereby the Cost and Complexity of
Network.

MPLS VPN???
Just for 10 sites the cost factor is 1/8th of Leased Lines. It improves as
the number of sites increases.

Cost comparison with
other services (Leased
circuits)
Though it is not a parallel to MPLS VPN solutions……

The cost of Connecting 9 branch offices to

1 head office at Mumbai will cost Rs.
10.33 Lakhs for 9 links and will increase
proportionately till 1 Crore for node to
node connectivity.
The Cost of Implementing the same with
MPLS Solution will be Rs. 7.3 Lakhs.
Advantage: huge cost savings and
additional advantages of
security,reliability,scalability,flexibilit
y and a technology which can support
all IP services.

FAQs what are the benefits to the IP
based customers ?
Traffic Engineering: the ability to set the
path traffic will take through the
network, and the ability to set
performance characteristics for a class
of traffic.
VPNs – Using MPLS, service Providers
can create IP tunnels throughout their
network without the need for encryption
or end user application.
Layer 2 Transport: New standards
being defined which will allow to carry
Layer 2 service including Ethernet, FR,
ATM etc.
 Leading Applications for
Site-to-Site VPNs
Cost-effective way to increase remote site
bandwidth using DSL or cable.
Extend connectivity to smaller offices.
Replace high cost frame relay or private
line links – international and long-haul.
Increase security for frame relay or private
lines.
Backup network for frame relay.
Service provider managed CPE services.
Service provider network-based VPN
services.
FAQs How is QoS controlled in a Network based
VPN ? As providers towards MPLS, where will this
leave the Network Based VPN Routers ?
Bandwidth Management and Traffic
shaping services can be offered in
Network Based VPNs.
In future, MPLS Tags can be applied at
the edge of the Network Based VPN &
QoS parameters can be configured for
the VPN.
The virtual router in the IP services
platform will play the role of an MPLS
enabled access router.
