White Paper Evolving Backbone Networks with an MPLS Supercore Planning and Building for Varied Applications and Other Traffic Uncertainties 1 Evolving Backbone Networks with an MPLS Supercore White Paper Table of Contents ©2015, Juniper Networks, Inc. 2 Evolving Backbone Networks with an MPLS Supercore White Paper Executive Summary Traffic on backbone networks continues to grow rapidly. The bulk of this growth comes from low revenue Internet traffic. Naturally, this raises interest in lowering the costs of building and maintaining service provider backbone networks. A traditional method of building core networks revolves around the use of connection oriented time-division multiplexing (TDM) circuits. In recent years, the advantages of IP/MPLS core networks have come to the forefront, due to IP/MPLS’s natural statistical multiplexing behavior, seamless multiservice support, and flexible and scalable characteristics. Core networks are at a crossroads, and solving the uncertainties from the rising tide of traffic is a key concern for network and content service providers alike. Video, cloud, and mobile computing are changing traffic characteristics in ways that may threaten, and eventually define, core network architectures. Still, many e
