ERouting information is exchanged between the customer router and one or a few PEs.

DThe customer specifies the exact site-to-site traffic profile.

AThe model is suited for nonredundant configurations.

BThe configuration on a newly added site PE is updated automatically.

CProvider routers know the customer network topology.

Definitely! Plus, lower latency is a big plus.

Denny 4 months ago

I feel like it’s less complex too, right?

Ty 4 months ago

Yeah, non-MPLS is more adaptable to changes.

Hassie 5 months ago

I think it’s about scalability and flexibility.

Bettina 6 months ago

Not sure about that, traditional models have their perks.

Moira 6 months ago

I think it’s more flexible for routing.

Lovetta 6 months ago

Wait, is it really that much faster?

Royce 6 months ago

Totally agree, less overhead too!

Sheridan 6 months ago

Non-MPLS is more scalable.

Rana 6 months ago

This question is making my head spin. I think I need to take a break and play some Tetris to clear my mind.

Meaghan 7 months ago

Hmm, I wonder if the answer involves something about avoiding MPLS vendor lock-in. That would be a pretty slick move.

Johnetta 7 months ago

Overlay models are so last year. Non-MPLS is where it's at, baby!

Raylene 7 months ago

The non-MPLS peer-to-peer model sounds like a real brain-teaser. I'm going to need a cup of coffee to figure this one out.

Buck 7 months ago

I think one characteristic could be lower latency, but I’m not confident. I remember practicing a question that mentioned efficiency in resource usage too.

Precious 7 months ago

I’m a bit confused about the differences. I thought both models had their own advantages, but I can't pinpoint what makes the non-MPLS one stand out.

Penney 8 months ago

I remember something about scalability being a factor, but I can't recall if that's specific to non-MPLS. I feel like I've seen similar questions before.

Nikita 8 months ago

I think one characteristic might be reduced complexity since non-MPLS models can simplify routing. But I'm not entirely sure about the second one.

Casie 8 months ago

Alright, let me think this through step-by-step. Peer-to-peer is more distributed, so that's one. And it probably has lower latency since there's no central controller. I'll go with those two.

Nana 9 months ago

Ugh, networking questions are the worst. I'm just going to take a shot in the dark on this one and hope for the best.

Carylon 9 months ago

I remember discussing this in class. I think peer-to-peer has less overhead and is more scalable than a traditional overlay. But I'm not sure about the other characteristic.

Jodi 9 months ago

Okay, let me see. I know overlay models use a central controller, so maybe peer-to-peer doesn't have that? And it might be more distributed? I'll have to guess on the second one.

Shonda 9 months ago

Hmm, I'm not too familiar with the differences between MPLS and peer-to-peer models. I'll need to think this through carefully.

True, but I'm still confused about the specifics.

Yeah, and they might have lower latency too.

I think non-MPLS models are more flexible.
