| MPLS (IETF) - Multiprotocol Label Switching |
|
 |
MPLS Standards
MPLS has evolved from Tag Switching, ARIS and others and is now standardized in a number of RFC documents by the IETF.

MPLS Chips (ICs)
MPLS uses a fixed size label and thus enables easy forwarding in intermediate network nodes. This Forum lists a number of chips (ICs), which are specifically designed for MPLS forwarding.

T-MPLS (ITU) vs. MPLS (IETF)
ITU's version of MPLS and the original IETF standard look similar at the first glance. However, there are substantial differences, which should be discussed in this forum.

| GMPLS - Generalized Multiprotocol Label Switching |
|
 |
GMPLS Standards
Label-inferred MPLS is forwarding packets based on a fixed length header field - the Label.
Generalized MPLS (GMPLS) broadens this mechanism and uses all sorts of label representations (fibre,wavelength,time slot,interface, packet header etc.) for the same purpose.

GMPLS supporting network equipment
GMPLS functionality can be supported in many devices (ADMs, Routers, Cross-Connects, etc.) depending on which type of label representation can be handled.
