MPLS-based VPN services: L3 MPLS VPN and L2 MPLS VPN. MPLS L2VPN has two modes: Virtual Private LAN Service (VPLS) and Virtual Leased Line (VLL). VLL applies to point-to-point networking scenarios, while VPLS supports point-to-multipoint and multipoint-to-multipoint networking. From users' point of view, the whole MPLS network is
FDOT Design Manual 212-Intersections 212 Intersections 212.1 General This chapter provides design criteria and guidance for the geometric layout of at-grade conventional intersections. Conventional intersections include, 3-leg (T), 4-leg, and Multi-leg (5 or more legs). Multi-leg conventional intersections should be avoided.
Adventure tourism is a “ people business ”. By its very nature it involves risks. Provid-ers need to manage those risks, so partici-pants and staff stay safe. The consequences of not doing so can be catastrophic. ISO 21101 : Adventure tourism – Safety management systems – A practical guide for SMEs provides guidance for small businesses to design and implement safety management systems .
