The video takes you through three different QoS implementation models in Cisco MPLS, namely Short Pipe, Pipe, and Uniform. We will start by examining the default QoS behavior at label imposition, and perform basic Experimental value change during label swap. We will then dive into each of the QoS models, and complete relevant configuration. Packet capture and debug will be performed throughout the lab to provide verification. Some features that you will also learn in this lab include table map and explicit null label.

The video demonstrates another method of routing L2VPN traffic using Cisco MPLS Traffic Engineering (TE) tunnel. Instead of relying on targeted LDP, we will be leveraging MPLS TE for label exchange and traffic path control. We will also look at a way to provide redundancy using a backup pseudowire. We will perform Wireshark packet capture and review control and data packets. 

The video walks you through configuration of Cisco Any Transport over MPLS (AToM) interworking. In our first two scenarios, we will be configuring EoMPLS to provide Layer2 connectivity between sites with disparate circuit type, specifically non-tag and 802.1q circuit, using Ethernet and VLAN mode. Our last scenario involves interworking of non-Ethernet circuit to an Ethernet circuit, which will call for an IP mode. Wireshark packet capture will be performed and we will notes the differences in packet structure with interworking.

The video walks you through configuration of Cisco Any Transport over MPLS (AToM). Since Ethernet circuit has become much more common nowadays, we will only focus on providing Layer 2 VPN connectivity using point-to-point Ethernet (EoMPLS) which is considered a type of Virtual Private Wire Service (VPWS). We will compare various mode of operation including Port mode, VLAN mode, and VLAN translation. To get better insight of the underlying protocol and frame structure, we will perform Wireshark packet capture and review control and data packets.

The video demonstrates an ability to support multiple IPv6 client networks across Cisco IPv4 MPLS VPN. We will show the similarity to the regular MPLS VPN and go over configurations changes that you need to make to the VRF definition and address-family type in order to support VPNv6 routes. For simplicity, we will use static routes for our PE-CE routing in this lab.

The video demonstrates an ability to transport IPv6 traffic across a Cisco IPv4 MPLS network. Comparing to other IPv6 IP-based tunnelling technologies, you will see that 6PE is simpler to setup and understand as IPv6 route advertisement is natively supported by MPBGP and the solution is very similar to MPLS VPN. Our configuration will be concentrated on the PE routers as they are required to run dual-stack. The P router, however, requires no modification as you will see in this lab.
