Cisco enterprise customers have in the past relied heavily upon traditional WAN/MAN services for their connectivity requirements. Layer 2 circuits based on TDM, Frame Relay, ATM, and SONET have formed the mainstay of most low-speed WAN services. More recently, high-speed MAN solutions have been delivered directly over Layer 1 optical circuits, SONET, or through the implementation of point-to-point or point-to-multipoint Ethernet services delivered over one of these two technologies. Today, many enterprise customers are turning to Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS)-based VPN solutions because they offer numerous secure alternatives to the traditional WAN/MAN connectivity offerings | Cisco Systems Next Generation Enterprise MPLS VPN-Based MAN Design and Implementation Guide OL-11661-01 Corporate Headquarters Cisco Systems Inc. 170 West Tasman Drive San Jose CA 95134-1706 USA http Tel 408 526-4000 800 553-NETS 6387 Fax 408 526-4100 THE SPECIFICATIONS AND INFORMATION REGARDING THE PRODUCTS IN THIS MANUAL ARE SUBJECT TO CHANGE WITHOUT NOTICE.
