HOW TO MERGE
MPLS AND ETHERNET IN PROVIDER NETWORKS
10/13 FEBRUARY 2009
MARRIOTT PARIS RIVE GAUCHE HOTEL & CONFERENCE CENTER
The 10th annual MPLS & Ethernet World
Congress attracted more than 1,000 dele-
gates for the first time ever last year. This
unprecedented attendance record bears out
that MPLS World and the Carrier Ethernet
Workshop is THE major rendezvous for the
industry worldwide.
Because each year the Congress brings to-
gether the most renowned engineers in the
industry, their live debate with operators pro-
vides for a rich source of information to the
hundreds of delegates in the audience.
The Conference:
Video Transport, Mobile Backhaul,
MPLS/Ethernet Convergence
The 2009 agenda will pay particular atten-
tion this year to Ethernet and MPLS Trans-
port standards and mechanisms. Video
transport, services and mobile backhaul will
also be covered in detail.
The proposals have been analyzed and cat-
egorized according to their degree of perti-
nence by the members of the scientific
committee.

MORNING SESSION
MPLS IN THE ACCESS
09.00 MPLS has proved a very flexible and scalable infrastructure
for service delivery and service convergence, and is now the
protocol of choice in Wide-Area Networks, and increasingly so
in metropolitan networks as well. The next challenge is access
networks and technologies: does MPLS have a role to play
here? If so, what, why and how?
Describing the various types of access technologies, what
functions access nodes serve, and how they fit in with the rest
of the network.
Discussing the benefits that MPLS can bring to access net-
works, and the requirements that "MPLS to the access node"
must satisfy.
10.30 COFFEE BREAK
11.00 Describing an architecture for the control and data planes of ac-
cess nodes of different flavors as well as services, and how the
overall MPLS network can scale to 10s of thousands of nodes.
Closing with a perspective on network and service conver-
gence.
The Debate:
Access, Transport and
Carrier Ethernet
This year, the traditional debate will address
access and transport, two of the main is-
sues for both MPLS and Carrier Ethernet in-
frastructures. As each year, the panel will
propose a fruitful confrontation between
equipment vendors and service providers.
The 2009 Carrier Ethernet Workshop
The third edition of the Carrier Ethernet
Workshop will discuss technological and im-
plementation detailed issues in parallel with
the traditional MPLS Tutorial addressed by
the IP/MPLS Forum. The workshop will be
addressed by the MEF ambassadors for the
standardization process review. Other ses- GOLD SPONSORS
sions will welcome vendors for business
models and solutions descriptions and carri-
ers for deployment reports.
