MultiProtocol Label Switching (MPLS) VPNs can deliver an impressive range of next-generation telecommunications services. Their sophistication sometimes results in complex networking challenges to the Network Operations Center (NOC) staff in fault finding and troubleshooting. In the growing and competitive MPLS VPN market, many providers and enterprises are under pressure to improve the operational efficiency of their NOC to reduce costs, constrain headcount growth, and provide better customer support. Troubleshooting an MPLS VPN is often a manual task, requiring complex procedures not supported today in traditional fault management tools. Thus the traditional way to meet increased demand for MPLS network maintenance support would be to hire or train appropriately skilled specialists; however, this approach can be costly.
