MPLS

MPLS (Multiprotocol Label Switching) is a method used by network providers to efficiently route data across a network. Instead of examining each piece of data individually, MPLS assigns a label to each data packet, which helps the network quickly determine the best path for delivery. This process improves speed, reliability, and the ability to prioritize different types of traffic, such as voice, video, or internet data. Think of it as giving each data packet a traffic ticket with a specific route, helping ensure it reaches its destination swiftly and smoothly.
