A Detail Review on Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS)

Abstract — Multiprotocol level switching is rapidly emerging technology which plays a main role in new generation network by improvising QoS scalability speed and other features like traffic engineering. MPLS provide a framework that efficient for routing, switching and forwarding. MPLS allow for creating end-to-end circuits by using any transport protocol. The main goal of MPLS is to eliminate the dependency of OSI model data link layered technology i.e. frame relay, Ethernet, asynchronous transfer mode. This paper provides a detail overview on MPLS with its terminologies, functioning and the services that it offer
