A Detail Review on Multiprotocol Label Switching ( MPLS )

Multiprotocol level switching is a promising technology which plays a vital role in new generation network by improvising QOS scalability speed and it also provide some other features like traffic engineering. MPLS came with a framework that is proficient for routing, switching and forwarding. MPLS has a permit to developing an environment of end-to-end circuits by using any transport protocol. The main idea behind the MPLS technology is to eliminate the dependency of OSI model data link layered (layer 2) technology i.e. frame relay, Ethernet, asynchronous transfer mode(ATM).This paper affords with a detail overview on MPLS with its terminologies, functioning and the services that it provides.
