DESCRIPTION:MPLS once was the center of attention in many network talks\, w
 orkshops and training. Still today it is a predominant technology in use i
 n many networks.\n\nHowever\, those who joined the network community in th
 e past years or almost a decade now from enterprise and datacenter angles\
 , have found very little opportunity to dive into the topic of MPLS. Many 
 perceive the communities still working with expert level MPLS topics hard 
 to engage with.\n\nThis workshop tries to go back in time and provide a gu
 ided journey through the development of MPLS and how it evolved over the y
 ears. It wants to cover original ideas\, what became of them and how vario
 us protocols over time solved problems of their time and ultimately result
 ed in the most modern use of MPLS and related technologies for those who w
 ere not around when all this was heavily discussed in every other training
  course.\n\nThis workshop is addressed to absolute beginners and those who
  heard little about MPLS and have a few working assumptions but no solid b
 ackground.\nIt does not aim to go to expert level\, rather give a solid st
 ructure and overview so that context exists for the concepts in play.\n\nT
 he talk will mainly focus on the history\, theories and how protocol imple
 mented them as well as some hands-on components of label exchange and pack
 et forwarding in groups while applying various protocols.\n\nParticipants 
 should be beginner level or completely new to MPLS.\nBasic knowledge of ne
 tworking concepts is recommended.
