MULTIPROTOCOL LABEL SWITCHING

Domain	Definition
Computing	Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) a standards-based approach to applying label switching to large-scale networks being defined by the Internet Engineering Task Force since early 1997. MPLS defines protocols and procedures that enable the fast switching capabilities of ATM and Frame Relay to be used by IP networks. It represents the next level of standards-based evolution in combining layer two (data link layer) switching with layer three (network layer) routing in order to create flexible, faster, and more scalable networking. This includes traffic engineering capabilities which provide, for example, aspects of Quality of Service (QoS)/Class of Service (CoS) and facilitate the use of Virtual Private Networks (VPNs).
