SERVICE LABEL ROUTING IN A NETWORK

摘要

Aspects of the present disclosure involve systems, methods, computer program products, and the like, for implementing and utilizing one or more service labels in a Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) network for delivery service through the network. The general, the service label acts to instantiate a service tunnel between two or more devices of the network, such as between a service or provider edge device and a metro device of the network. The service label is unique and arbitrary label per service to a network device. Once the service tunnel is established between the devices, one or more Internet Protocol (IP) or Ethernet services can be multiplex over the service tunnel to the network device. Also, one or more service labels (tunnels) can be established between any two or more network devices to allow for greater flexibility and scale.

主权项

1. A method for providing services to a customer of a telecommunications network, the method comprising:
receiving a request from a customer device to add a telecommunication service for a customer; instantiating the telecommunication service on the telecommunications network, wherein instantiating the telecommunication service comprises associating a unique service label identifier to the requested telecommunication service; configuring two or more network components to route information associated with the telecommunication service; and routing at least one data packet associated with the telecommunication service on the telecommunications network to the customer based at least on the unique service label identifier associated with the data packet.
