What are Multiprotocol Networks?
Multiprotocol networks are a critical and necessary step in the evolutionary transition to an Internet world. They redefine flexibility by integrating today's primary networking technologies -- IP, MPLS and ATM -- on a single, reliable platform. That means carriers can capture the broadest range of service revenues, both legacy and IP, independent of whether the services are delivered as a Layer 2 or Layer 3 offering because a multiprotocol network supports both.
Why do Carriers Need Multiprotocol Networks?
Carriers are under massive pressure -- for some it's a question of survival. They need to generate incremental revenue from existing assets and solve immediate IP traffic capacity issues while ensuring their network architectures are capable of accommodating future capacity needs from existing and evolving services. And they must achieve these diverse business objectives in a climate of unprecedented budgetary constraints, industry upheaval and vendor instability.
Why Deploy a Multiprotocol Network?
Multiprotocol networks are uniquely positioned to offer carriers maximum profit with least risk:
- By overcoming performance and capacity limits of existing assets, extending their life and revenue generating capabilities
- By boosting routing and switching capacity to accommodate increasing IP traffic volume
- By enabling growth of existing services and applications ... and the evolution of new ones
Multiprotocol networks also deliver significant and immediate bottom line improvements, such as:
- Revenue generation and retention
- Investment protection
- CAPEX savings
- OPEX savings
