MPLS

Course Description

MPLS (Multi Protocol Label Switching) is a mechanism that switches traffic based on labels
instead of routing traffic. It’s typically seen in service provider networks and can transport pretty
much everything…IP, IPv6, Ethernet, frame-relay, PPP. MPLS VPN is a popular technique to
build VPNs for customers over the MPLS provider network.
