Which routing protocol is most commonly used for inter-domain routing in Ericsson transport network deployments?
Answer: BGP
BGP (Border Gateway Protocol) is the standard inter-domain routing protocol used between autonomous systems in transport networks.
In Ericsson's IP/MPLS transport, what does LSP stand for?
Answer: Label Switched Path
LSP stands for Label Switched Path, the end-to-end path established through an MPLS network for forwarding labeled packets.
What is the primary purpose of MPLS Traffic Engineering (TE) in Ericsson transport networks?
Answer: Optimizing bandwidth utilization across network paths
MPLS-TE allows operators to optimize bandwidth by directing traffic along specific paths rather than relying solely on shortest-path routing.
Which Ericsson router platform is designed for high-capacity IP/MPLS core network deployments?
Answer: Ericsson Router 6000
The Ericsson Router 6000 series is purpose-built for high-capacity core and edge IP/MPLS deployments.
What does QoS DSCP marking do in an Ericsson IP transport network?
Answer: Marks packets to indicate their priority for handling
DSCP (Differentiated Services Code Point) marks packets in the IP header so network nodes can apply appropriate priority treatment.
In Ericsson transport, what is the role of a Route Reflector in BGP?
Answer: To reduce the number of BGP sessions required in an AS
A Route Reflector allows BGP route propagation within an AS without requiring a full mesh of iBGP sessions between all routers.
