What is MPLS?

Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) is a protocol used in telecommunications networks to control the flow of network traffic. It uses labels to route packets instead of IP addresses, which helps ensure that traffic is efficiently and rapidly directed along the network. MPLS is particularly useful for connecting geographically dispersed locations, as it can establish virtual private networks (VPNs) that securely and efficiently transmit data between different sites. MPLS is widely used in enterprise networks and service provider networks to improve overall network performance and reliability.
