Category: [a] Class
This is an abstract base class for representing different types of switching protocols that can be managed. Switching protocols are those protocols that enable routing to take into account layer 2 information, such as bandwidth and QoS. (Remember that traditional routing protocols are designed to evaluate each frame's layer 3 header only). \n\nSeveral methods are available for accomplishing the task of looking at layer 2 information and defining a next hop. Most now use the concept of a label, which is a means to define the next hop without evaluating all of the information of a traditional header.\n\nThe DEN-ng model currently concentrates on defining MPLS as an example of a SwitchingProtocol.\n
