Railways MPLS-TP: ready to face the future Ready to face the future National railway operators have multiple applications, that all need communication: some between control centres and stations, others go as deep as trackside level. The network is a vital cornerstone of the infrastructure and needs to support this complete range of applications. SDH/SONET technology has always been the workhorse to interconnect the different sites. However, virtually all applications are moving towards IP/Ethernet and demand for bandwidth is increasing. This forces railway operators to look at different technologies which seamlessly blend with the current infrastructure while offering a solution to cope with future demands. Various packet transport technologies have emerged to replace the traditional SDH/SONET: MPLS, carrier Ethernet and more recently, MPLS-TP (Multiprotocol Label Switching - Transport Profile). MPLS-TP uses the main functionalities of MPLS but comes with extra features to support the mission-critical transport of information. One can consider it as the packet alternative to “good old SDH/SONET”. Despite being a packet-based technology, MPLS-TP offers the same functionality in terms of network resilience and predictability as SDH/SONET. Moreover, MPLS-TP offers unique features making the network operator’s life less complex Worldwide proven experience OTN Systems acquired experience in the railway environment in various parts of the world.
