Abstract :
Extending MPLS to the access node has become a tendency and can bring lots of advantages. However, challenges of the scalability and complexity in the native MPLS solutions hinder MPLS from going further into the access network. This paper introduces a lightweight NFV-based MPLS solution in access network - H-MPLS (Hybrid - Multiprotocol Label Switching), based on the technology of “separated control plane and forwarding plane” and “MPLS PON”, which can support fast service deployment and accelerate migration to MPLS in the access.
