Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) is a mechanism in high-performance telecommunications networks that directs data from one network node to the next based on short path labels rather than long network addresses, avoiding complex lookups in a routing table. The labels identify virtual links (paths) between distant nodes rather than endpoints. MPLS can encapsulate packets of various network protocols. MPLS supports a range of access technologies, including T1/E1, Ethernet,DSL.
MPLS offers numerous advantages over traditional private lines including the ability to route around congestion on the network and disaster recovery. Since MPLS is virtually private network a firewall is not necessary for security unless the customer establishes a connection to the Internet into his MPLS cloud. Doctor Telco Inc. offers many different MPLS providers with many different abilities to make your networking experience a successful one. These providers offer services through multiple access options, disaster recovery options, credit card service validation, bandwidth on demand, SaaS (Software as a Service) to name a few.
