MPLS (Multi-Protocol Label Switching)

Multi-Protocol Label Switching (MPLS) is a data-carrying technique used in high-performance networks. It directs and manages data from one network node to the next based on short, fixed-length labels instead of lengthy network addresses. Think of it like a delivery service using a simplified address system that speeds up the process. MPLS enhances efficiency, reduces latency, and improves the quality of service for different types of data, making it ideal for businesses that require reliable and fast internet and communication services, such as video conferencing or large file transfers.
