Summary:This paper deals with describing MPLS technology behavior on two different, but nowadays the most commonly used network components of well-known vendors Cisco and Huawei. We focused on two significant MPLS applications namely MPLS VPN and MPLS AToM. For each application of MPLS, aseparately assembled network topology was used. Compatibility and interoperability between network devices Huawei and Cisco was verified by testing the appropriate network topology. After successful validation, compatibility and functionality of the network topologies between the routers created in a laboratory environment, it was possible to provide and operate appropriate MPLS applications in real network traffic. This paper brings the verified scenario of MPLS interoperability between vendors Cisco and Huawei.
