Level up your MPLS skills - A Wireshark-driven approach
2025-11-05 , Room A

This session offers a practical, Wireshark-driven approach to understanding and troubleshooting MPLS. The goal is to articulate the control plane and data plane's inner workings through packet analysis. We'll deep-dive into packet structures, label exchange mechanisms, and eventually explore some traffic engineering scenarios. This session begins with a quick review of MPLS fundamentals, then dives into real-world use cases and potentially explores related technologies and advancements like SR-MPLS.
