In the last two posts I discussed the role of FECs in MPLS networks, and implicit and explicit null labels. In this brief post I’d like to discuss MPLS label stacking, as a preliminary to a couple of ...

MPLS – or Multiprotocol Label Switching – has been one of the big tech success stories of the past decade. And yet, it’s become rather difficult to find an explanation written in layman’s terms for ...

You may not be familiar with the term Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS); however, it is a technology that that will find a way into your facility in the not-too-distant future, if not already ...

Multi Protocol Label Switching (MPLS) brings several benefits to Internet Protocol networks, including increased packet forwarding performance, traffic engineering mechanisms to maximize resource ...

DENVER — As extensions to the multiprotocol label switching standard make MPLS viable for virtual private network transport, experts are warning against taking the protocol too far, too fast. MPLS is ...

In certain models of inter-provider Multi-Protocol Label Switching (MPLS) based Virtual Private Networks (VPNs) spoofing attack against VPN sites is a key concern. For example, MPLS-based VPN ...

A sea change in networking that happens every ten to 11 years saw the arrival of multi-protocol label switching (MPLS) in 2000, and another inflection point in the industry is set to break existing ...

MPLS also offered a way to “cap-and-grow” legacy network technology, in particular, Frame Relay, ATM and SONET. This allowed some SPs to upsell an enterprise offering of point-to-point Frame Relay ...
