Alliances Stage Interop Event

05/01/2004

The Multiservice Switching Forum (MSF) and the MPLS & Frame Relay Alliance will collaborate on an interoperability event to be staged next month at SUPERCOMM.

“This is an important development for service providers and end users,” says Tom Nolle, president of consulting firm CIMI Corp. “MSF has a unique systemic perspective on service switching and service management, and the MPLS & Frame Relay Alliance is the premier body in both the MPLS space and in the migration of legacy data services to IP. Their cooperation in an interoperability event ensures that the event will fully address the issues in the critical VoIP, VPN, and VPLS markets, and it’s the kind of interbody cooperation that we need more of from the standards community.”

The interoperability event will be a live, multivendor demonstration of quality-of-serviceenabled Layer 2 and Layer 3 VPNs and VPLS services on an MPLS core network.

MSF members will be invited to participate in the SUPERCOMM event, with a particular focus on work to deliver VoIP services and applications over an MPLS network.

Companies interested in participating in the SUPERCOMM demonstration should contact Mike Parket at mparket@mplsforum.org.
