Abstract: The ease of administration and its reduced costs make the MPLS (Multiprotocol LabelSwitching) technology attractive to those who want to deploy a performant, reliable and scalableprivate network. Connecting enterprises to remote locations, customers, and vendors via the MPLSis a very flexible solution that is being taken into account by many communication providers. VPN(Virtual Private Networks) is one of the most demanding services for the MPLS technology. Theservice providing of MPLS Differentiated Services (MPLS DiffServ) allows the customization ofeach client's traffic. This paper briefly outlines the theoretical aspects of the MPLS technology. Thetheoretical analysis is summed up in a case study called MPLS_DiffServ, developed with theOPNET Modeler simulator. This simulator allowed us to create a network model and configure thenetwork equipment to provide MPLS DiffServ services. The results that are obtained from thesimulation run are suggestive for networking education and a good starting point for thenetworking research area, as services for new business environment.
