Put another way, the use of MPLS labels enables routers to avoid the processing overhead of delving deeply into each packet and performing complex route lookup operations based upon destination IP addresses.

A house alarm will be tripped when a motion is detected or a circuit surrounding a door is broken. In an IDS an alarm is tripped when a known attack signature is detected, or there is an unauthorized change in the status of the system, notifying the systems administrator of the intrusion. For the rest of the story go to: extremenetworks.com _______________________________ Service Provider Solutions Usage Based Billing Usage-based billing starts with a solid grounding in standards based SNMP (MIB II and RMON) with important additions specific to the provider environment, such as support for high capacity (HC) counters through the Interfaces MIB (RFC 2233) and support for GetBulk operations. These mechanisms form the backbone for simple, yet robust capabilities of usage-based billing.
