MPLS Internet Breakout
Hi all,
I am working through a network topology for a new company office.
They have an MPLS network, this particular office will have a 30Mb fibre connection to said MPLS. I have been told that there is a 15Mb "Internet Breakout" from the core that they will be using for this site.
My question is this:
If the MPLS is terminated with one router, how does this "Breakout" happen, is it a case of routing all internet based traffic down one particular VLAN?
I am trying to draw a toplogy of the new site and I'm getting stuck trying to figure out how this "Breakout" will be configured.
Sorry if I am vague, it's been a while since I have dealt with something like this.
Cheers

Thanks for your reply,
That is the way I understand it.
How do you tell internet traffic from site 1 / site 2 to access the internet through the core?

Hi,
Try a traceroute, though some service providers hide the routes inside the MPLS cloud. If they don't hide MPLS hops Cisco's traceroute will show you the MPLS labels.
