Routing And Switching Questions
The purpose of MPLS (Multiprotocol Label Switching) in a network is to improve the efficiency and performance of data transmission by providing a faster and more reliable way to route network traffic. It accomplishes this by using labels to identify and prioritize packets, allowing for faster forwarding and easier traffic management. MPLS also enables the creation of virtual private networks (VPNs) and supports quality of service (QoS) features, making it a versatile and valuable tool for network operators.
