MPLS, or MultiProtocol Label Switching, is a mechanism to speed up and shape traffic flows across a network. MPLS works by tagging the traffic entering the MPLS network. When a router receives tagged traffic, it forwards it to the appropriate destination using pre-established labels. MPLS (MultiProtocol Label Switching) has evolved into a de facto standard for fast-packet forwarding across an IP network. It is an IETF (Internet Engineering Task Force) standards-approved technology that's designed to speed up the flow of traffic through a network and reduce congestion. Traditional IP routing uses a complicated process to forward packets. This process determines…
