Implementing Cisco MPLS Traffic Engineering v2.0 Course Overview
Implementing Cisco MPLS Traffic Engineering v2.0 Training from Koenig Solutions focuses on engineering network traffic in an existing network where the underutilization and overutilization of links degrade the working of a network. This course makes students to refresh the MPLS and MPLS VPN technology and incorporate it into sophisticated MPLS feature of Traffic Engineering. The objective of this course is to teach implementation of Traffic Engineering on existing MPLS network. This course also provides hands-on experience.
