Lectures:
- MPLS frame mode as a basic to DC and SP technologies. Principles (control plane, data plane). LDP. LIB, LFIB, relation to IGP. BGP-free core, 6PE.
- Datacenter network infrastructure - logical modules and their functions, typical scalable and redundant physical module topology. PODs. Implementation of shared infrastructures - logical tenant separation (shared L3 + filtering/Private VLAN, VLANs + VRF Lite + independent instance of routing protocols, MPLS/VPN with access to shared zones. Relationship between logical and physical topology, insertion of services to existing topology (FW, LB). Typical logical topologies and security zones. Datacenter Ethernet.
