Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) is a networking technology that routes network traffic using labels instead of IP addresses.
It’s used to improve the speed and efficiency of data forwarding across large networks, and can be integrated with existing infrastructure like IP, Ethernet, ATM, and Frame Relay. It’s also called Layer 2.5 Protocol. Because it’s working with L2 and L3.
Speed: MPLS routes traffic along the shortest path, which can improve the speed of traffic and reduce downtime.
Scalability: MPLS is a scalable solution that can be integrated with any underlying infrastructure.
Optimal Low Latency: MPLS is an optimized low latency networking option.
Quality of Service: MPLS is intended to improve quality of service (QoS)
