Abstract

Campus Networks are ever evolving. With each evolution comes a need for increased availability, scalability, flexibility and security of the network. This work presents how the aforementioned needs can be met via network virtualization. It also goes further to show how network virtualization can be achieved using Multiprotocol Label Switching-Virtual Private Networks (MPLS-VPNS). Finally, the paper proposed how MPLS-VPNs (a technology generally assumed to be limited to network service providers) can be implemented in campus networks. This proposed solution as evident from the outcome of this research leads to better network design and improved network efficiency in terms of bandwidth management and network delay.
