What is MPLS?

MPLS is the short name for Multi-Protocol Label Switching, which allows for some of the fastest, most secure, and most reliable communication for businesses with offices in multiple locations.

No matter where your offices are in the country, this is no longer an issue as an MPLS network can connect you. Multiprotocol Label Switching is more complex than other solutions, but we can tailor a solution around your needs.

With the ability to mix and match bandwidth requirements at each site, it is the only choice for multi-site connectivity. Products which can be used are SoGEA, FTTP and leased lines, to name just a few.

Why is MPLS used?

It’s mainly used to connect multiple sites together. Each individual site can choose whatever type of connectivity they need. Distance is also not an issue.

One of the key benefits is that it allows you to “link together” sites using whatever data connectivity you want at each site. This technology can bring several benefits to your network, and that doesn’t just include speed.

It reduces network congestion, improves bandwidth utilisation, hides network complexity, improves user experience and uptime. It’s  also highly scalable, so it can be easily adapted to meet changing business requirements.

Additional sites can be added to the network whenever needed. With this type of solution, you can access hosted applications, VoIP, video conferencing, partner-hosted apps such as Microsoft CRM, transaction processing, etc.

It also offers similar levels of security and performance compared to traditional ATM or Frame Relay private networks, but at a fraction of the cost.

What’s the difference between MPLS and SD-WAN?

Whilst MPLS is a physical circuit that gets installed at each site, SD-WAN is a virtual overlay seperate from physical links.

difference between mpls and sdwan

The main difference between MPLS connections and SD-WAN is that SD-WAN uses multiple links to connect sites, while MPLS uses a single link.

As a result, SD-WAN can provide more flexibility and redundancy, but it also typically costs more.

MPLS services vs SD-WAN edge devices

MPLS uses a labelled forwarding approach to send packets from one network node to another. SD-WAN edge devices use an application-aware routing approach to send traffic over the best path based on application performance criteria.

In general, MPLS services offer more flexibility and scalability, but they require more complex requirements, network setup and configuration.

difference between mpls and sdwan

Why choose MPLS?

Though a leased line is also a practical choice for businesses, MPLS remains a notch higher for multi site connectivity.

webbed connection
1. Webbed Connection

Leased lines are efficient when it comes to creating a connection between two endpoints. However, creating a link among several points may require the use of MPLS.

This is also the reason why MPLS is more flexible and scalable especially for businesses that are continuously growing. Adding more features and increasing the capacity of the network can be easily done.

little scalable image
2. Bandwidth Flexibility

By simply discussing the specific needs of the business, customers can get the exact bandwidth which would be enough to support the needs of the workplace.

Some service provider seven take it a step higher by offering ‘burst speed’ to their customers. This means that for a specific time or period within the day, the bandwidth would be increased to cope with demand.

response times
3. Quick Response Times

Data does not need to go through several interconnections just to reach its destination. Hence, the response time is much faster. Because of that, the network would be perfect for various communication means.

There will be less jittering and no lags. All thanks to the quick response time, businesses can use the network connection to the fullest by using video conferences, voice calls and even VoIP.

traffic management
4. Intense Traffic Management

Each type of traffic is classified automatically depending on the data packet. There is less chance that once multiple users start to access the network, the bandwidth would be congested.

This is such a big hassle for businesses because it could also slow down the speed. With MPLS, the route of each traffic is specified so there would not be any network congestion. It is perfect for data, video or audio data transmission.

modern technology
5. More Modern Technology

A lot of people would say that MPLS is the key in “future-proofing” the business. This is actually true. Having this system is like gearing up the business not just to handle today’s modern technology but also to cope up with future technological improvements.

With a stable and efficient network, the business would be prepared for the developments that would come in the near future but there is also now SD-WAN to consider?

Got questions?
Well, we’ve got answers

Yes, it is cost-effective because it can improve network performance while reducing costs. It can also provide QoS capabilities that can help save on bandwidth and enhance service levels.

Additionally, it can be used to connect different types of networks, resulting in further cost savings.

It’s different from the Internet because it uses labels to forward packets instead of looking up addresses in a routing table. This makes MPLS faster and more efficient. Additionally, this technology can provide QoS capabilities that the Internet does not support.

MPLS networks can be used to connect to the cloud. It can provide a fast and efficient way to connect to cloud services. Additionally, it can provide QoS capabilities that can help improve service levels for cloud applications.

The circuits can vary in cost depending on the service provider and the location of the circuit. However, the circuits are typically less expensive than traditional point-to-point circuits.

Generally, yes it’s faster than VPN because it uses shorter label paths to forward packets. This means that packets can be forwarded more quickly and with less processing power.

It’s faster than IP routing because it uses shorter label paths to forward packets. This means that packets can be forwarded more quickly and with less processing power. Additionally, it can provide Quality of Service capabilities that better manage traffic flows.

An IP network is a network that uses the Internet Protocol to send and receive data, and IP packets are the units of data that are sent and received over an IP network. An IP packet contains an IP header and data. It’s like MPLS but uses simple IP addresses instead of an MPLS label.

It works by allocating labels to packets at the ingress router in real-time. All the other MPLS routers then use the label along the path to quickly forward the packet to the egress router, where the label is removed, and the packet is forwarded to its destination.

It allows you to put your data into “labelled” packets that can be forwarded quickly and easily by network routers. Each packet contains a label that tells the router where to send it next.

Additional Benefits.

multimedia platforms

Smooth Running Of Multimedia Platforms

Traffic can be badly affected when various online media platforms run and use network connections. With MPLS, it is easier for the network to accommodate video, audio, data and other applications which need to utilise the connections. There will be less lag and less jittery transmissions.

multiple offices

Create Scalable IP VPN's

Through MPLS, it becomes easier to add more sites to a VPN. There is no need for the user to configure highly complex mesh tunnels, which is common in traditional approaches.

reduce congestion on mpls

Reduce Network Congestion

In most cases, the shortest link between two remote nodes may not be the perfect path due to congestion, plus it can make your network less attractive. MPLS can provide you with sophisticated options for traffic engineering so that you can send traffic through non-standard paths. This reduces the delay in sending and receiving data and reduces the risk of congestion on standard routes you have avoided using.

quick data restoration image

Quick Data Restoration

Another significant role of this technology is that it makes data restoration a lot easier, especially if the network is not created with a backup server. Not all network data will be rendered useless and unavailable if the system crashes.

traffic management image

Easier Traffic Management

Having MPLS eliminated the need to utilise multiple layer-2 networks, to avoid traffic congestion. MPLS is the key to organising different types of traffic and ensuring that the flow is smooth and seamless.
