MPLS
(Multiprotocol Label Switching-Virtual
Private Networks)
Private network, multi-point connection, real time
information
A virtual
private
network
which
operates by
generating
secure
channels
within a
shared
network
which
connect to
your WAN
(Wide Area
Network),
maintaining
the privacy
and security
of your
organization’s
communications
and data.
MPLS is
suitable for
organizations
which have
branches in
different
regions and
wish to
connect them
together in
the most
cost-effective
way. The
traffic
engineering
system
within MLPS
VPN also
helps to
manage the
information
and easily
extend users
or services
in the
future.
MPLS
exploits the
advantages
of IP
(Internet
Protocol)
which are
its
extensibility,
scalability
and low cost
compared
with leased
line
communications,
together
with the
benefits of
Frame Relay
which offers
stability
and improved
information
management
(Quality of
Service).
MPLS
has 2 modes of service:
MPLS VLL
-
for
connecting
from
one
branch
to
another
MPLS VPN
-
for
connection
of
many
branches
together,
whereby
each
branch
will
either
connect
to
the
headquarters
or
directly
connect
to
other
branches
MPLS
VLL/VPN is
thereby
As

as
Leased
Line /
Frame
Relay
As
reliable
as
Leased

As
CoS/QoS
as
Leased

Relay
- Simplicity
Offer simple design
network solution to
customer
- Capability
Core network can
support large
bandwidth
- Scalability
Easier to scale if
there new site is
added to the network
