Feature Benefits

With MPLS Stripping, Non-MPLS monitoring tools can be used saving both time and money.

Monitor MPLS traffic even if the analysis tool is not designed to handle MPLS labeling.
Protect your investment in tools that were not designed to handle MPLS encapsulated traffic
Strip the MPLS labels at the NTO and increase efficiency of MPLS-capable tools
Increased the efficiency of your processing resources

Challenge

Carriers use MPLS headers, but monitoring tools may not handle packets with MPLS headers. MPLS labels prevent many tools from monitoring within the data center.
