MPLS & Metro Ethernet

StableNet^® management for MPLS, MetroE and Carrier Ethernet provides visibility into Layer 2 and Layer 3 MPLS and VPLS deployments. Leveraging topology and LSP path information collected via SNMP, StableNet^® can manage MPLS/VPLS deployments including MP-iBGP and End-to-End path monitoring.

StableNet^® has native support for common edge devices such as Cisco, Juniper, Redback and others without the need for manual intervention or programming of correlation rules.

How it Works

StableNet^® Telco manages MPLS, MetroE and mixed networks in multi-vendor environments. It helps you remove performance bottlenecks by optimal utilization of network resources.

StableNet^® supports the following technologies:

Layer 2 based on draft-kompella-l2ppvpn-version
Layer 2 based on Martini
Layer 3 based on RFC 2547bis (VRFs)
BGP VPLS based on Internet draft draft-ietf-ppvpn-vpls-bgp
LDP VPLS based on draft draft-ietf-l2vpn-vpls-ldp

How You Benefit

Feature	Advantage	Benefit
VPN Auto Discovery	Autodetects layer 2 and layer 3 VPNs at PE routers and the LSPs across the LSRs. Automatically discovers OSFP, ISIS, MP-iBGP and VLAN.	Auto-populate your CMBD with the actually deployed VPNs from our routers. Cut support time to a minimum.
Network Visualization	Graphically displays VPN topologies per customer and/or per technology.	See the connectivity and status of elements in a graphical topology display.
Root Cause & Impact Analysis	Tracks the cause of a VPN End-to-End failure down to the LSR where the problem occurs	Provides ability to associated VPNs with customers to see customer and service impact to priorities NOC activities.
Multi-Vendor Support	Works with a number of different hardware vendors including Cisco, Juniper, Redback, Huawei and others.	Improved scalability and flexibility in cross-domain and multi-vendor deployments.
