MPLS-TE (Multiprotocol Label Switching - Traffic Engineering)

MPLS-TE (Multiprotocol Label Switching - Traffic Engineering) is a network technology that improves the flow of data across large networks by directing traffic along optimal paths. It assigns labels to data packets, enabling faster routing, and uses traffic engineering to analyze and manage network capacity. This ensures consistent delivery performance, avoids congestion, and efficiently utilizes network resources, especially during high demand or failures. Essentially, MPLS-TE helps network providers plan and control data routes for reliable, high-performance communication.
