Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) is a technology used within computer network genesis to regulate data traffic and speed up the time that data packet takes to flow from one node to another.
Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) is a technology used within computer network genesis to regulate data traffic and speed up the time that data packet takes to flow from one node to another. In conventional routed IP networks, whenever a packet arrives, the router makes an independent forwarding decision thus making the process complex and slow. On the other hand, MPLS provides a unified data carrying service for packet switching and circuit-based clients. The MPLS architecture can be installed seamlessly over any existing structural design such as IP, Frame Relay, Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM), or Ethernet.
MPLS – sometimes called IP VPN – creates a completely private network, where your business has full control. Separate your data from outside traffic and the public internet, creating a seamless and secure point-to-point or point-to-multipoint (layer 2) connection between all your locations.
