MPLS-TE (MPLS Traffic Engineering)

MPLS-TE, or Multiprotocol Label Switching Traffic Engineering, is a network technology that helps optimize the flow of data across a network. It uses labels to make routing decisions based on current traffic conditions rather than traditional methods, allowing for more efficient use of bandwidth. This means that network traffic can be directed along specific paths to avoid congestion and ensure reliable delivery. By managing network resources more effectively, MPLS-TE enhances performance, reduces delays, and improves overall network efficiency, making it particularly valuable for organizations that rely on large data transmissions.
