An Overview of MPLS Network Solutions
Multi Protocol Label Switching (MPLS) is a standard networking technologies responsible for directing and carrying data from one network end point to the next. MPLS is a Private Network Transport (PNT) solution within the packet switching family. MPLS network solutions were originally presented as a way of improving the forwarding speed of routers. However, it has emerged a standard technology offering new capabilities to large scale IP networks including traffic engineering, ability to direct traffic paths and support for VPNs.
With an MPLS network solution, IP packets are assigned labels by the first MPLS edge device they encountered. The MPLS edge device analyzes the contents of the IP header and selects the appropriate label with to encapsulate the packet. All forwarding decisions are based on the destination address carried in the IP packet label. At its destination, the MPLS edge router removes the label to present the data in its original form.
MPLS solutions are utilized by mid-sized businesses and large enterprises that operate out of multiple locations and require a secure, flexible and cost-effective solution. MPLS solutions are used to support a wide range of applications including VoIP, email, file sharing/transfers, data backup and remote access. MPLS solution pricing depends on number of locations, service options and availability. Find out more about MPLS solutions by calling GlobalQuotes™ today at (877) 708-8900.
There are numerous benefits associated with MPLS solutions. MPLS is a multi-protocol solution supporting numerous access services including T1, T3, DS3, OCn and Ethernet for high speed connectivity. MPLS network solutions are based on an IP backbone providing increased reliability with low latency and data packet loss when delivering data. MPLS network solutions are also very secure due to the encapsulation and encryption that takes place when leaving each network end point. From a cost perspective, an MPLS network solution is an affordable option when compared to legacy networking solutions including ATM and Frame Relay. MPLS solutions are easier to manage when it comes to establishing, configuring and managing the overall network. Lastly, MPLS network solutions allow for the prioritization of traffic and traffic mapping.
