MPLS
MPLS (Multi Protocol Label Switching) is a mechanism that switches traffic based on labels instead of routing traffic. It’s typically seen in service provider networks and can transport pretty much everything…IPv4, IPv6, Ethernet, Frame-Relay, PPP. MPLS VPN is a popular technique to build VPNs for customers over the MPLS provider network.
