You\u2019ve heard about MPLS before, but never really took the time to understand the technology. It is one of the most common and most efficient technologies used for businesses today. If you are looking for a network technology that is protective of your private and sensitive data while delivering it fast and seamless, then you should consider MPLS. Here is a brief breakdown of MPLS and how the technology works.<\/p>\n

Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS)<\/strong><\/a> is a technology designed for the improvement
\nof network traffic flow along with its management. The main purpose of MPLS is to
\ncreate the most efficient use of the network router. MPLS uses specific paths that are
\nlinked up to each packet that provides the router with the address of the next connection
\nthat the packet will be sent.<\/p>\n

A label is included in each packet which provides the path to make the delivery more
\nefficient. The content of the label is the importance in the decision making of where it
\nshould be forwarded. There is no need for a routing table lookup anytime a packet comes
\ninto the router. Ultimately, the label is removed once the final router location is found
\nand a method of predestination is set up for future \u201cpackets\u201d. This process is continually
\nrepeating and thus creating a faster delivery of data for your network.<\/p>\n

How the Technology Works\u00a0<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

What is Label Switching?<\/em><\/p>\n

Label switching is different from a traditional IP network as it does not use the method of
\n\u201cnext-hop\u201d but instead locates the final destination router. This method is more effective
\nsince a predetermined path is created from one location to the final router. A \u201clabel\u201d is
\ncreated with the information so that future routers will not need to perform any additional
\nIP lookups. The \u201clabel\u201d is removed once the final destination is found and the packet is
\ndelivered via normal IP routing.<\/p>\n

Why Label Switching?<\/em><\/p>\n

Label Switching reduces the processing time on the core routers. This is achieved by
\nhaving the first router do an IP lookup and then exact match \u201cswitching\u201d can be done in
\nthe future. It also can implement traffic engineering where traffic is controlled and routed
\non the network to manage capacity while prioritizing different services. Label switching
\nalso allows the ability to deliver data transport services across the same packet-switched
\nnetwork infrastructure. There is also the improvement of network resiliency with MPLS
\nFast Reroute. (See our youtube video for more MPLS information!)<\/em><\/span><\/a>
