MPLS

What is an MPLS?
MPLS is a cost effective, secure and fully managed network solution, capable of carrying voice, video and data traffic at different prioritisation levels. This networking solution, created in conjunction with Cisco, is based on the multi protocol label switching (MPLS) protocol. It was first in the UK to provide specific prioritised classes of service for voice and video traffic, as well as multiple data classes. MPLS provides the security of a VPN with superior performance for business critical applications and cost benefits of converging voice, data and video traffic on the same network. It is a flexible, scalable method of connecting any number of end points using private circuits, ethernet, ADSL and SDSL, into a shared core. MPLS provides organisations with the additional ability to create secure extranet solutions, and to easily change the VPN by adding or moving sites and upgrading or downgrading bandwidth.
