| has gloss | eng: MPLS-TP or MPLS Transport Profile is a profile of MPLS whose definition has been commenced the IETF. It will be designed for use as a network layer technology in transport networks. Its design will be a continuation of the work started by the transport network experts of the ITU-T, specifically SG15, as T-MPLS with the required protocol extensions to MPLS being specified by the IETF. It will be a connection-oriented packet-switched (CO-PS) application. It will offer a dedicated MPLS implementation by removing features that are not relevant to CO-PS applications and adding mechanisms that provide support of critical transport functionality. |
