MPLS Service September 21, 2007; 12:12 AM
Las Vegas, NV., May 3, 2007 -- Multi-protocol label switching (MPLS)
gives network users better performance for existing applications and
flexibility to divert and route traffic around link failures,
congestion, and bottlenecks at 10-40% savings over Frame Relay,
according to Alain Nguyen of ShopforBandwidth.com.
MPLS was invented to solve the problem of bridging multiple disparate protocols such as Frame Relay, ATM, and Ethernet. In computer networking and telecommunications, MPLS service
provides unified data-carrying service for both circuit-based and
packet-switching clients. It can be used to carry many different kinds
of traffic, including IP packets, ATM, SONET, and Ethernet.
MPLS
has a number of benefits including Class of Service (COS). With MPLS
service, you can prioritize the data flow on your network and ensure
the most critical data traverses the network reliably in congested
situations. A prime candidate for a MPLS network would be VoIP as voice
traffic cannot tolerate the jitter and delay when a network becomes
congested. When using VoIP through Frame relay, there is often the
jitter and delay that businesses can not tolerate when talking to their
clients.
"Applications running on a network such as VoIP, CRM, ERP,
videoconferencing, etc. run better over MPLS than traditional 20 year
old Frame Relay. In the next 3 to 5 years, it is expected that MPLS circuits
will overtake frame relay and point-to-point circuits in popularity
since it is a better technology which has now proven to be more
beneficial to businesses" Says Nguyen.

recently helped a company acquire MPLS service with three locations in
different states. They had issues communicating with each other. Being
in the process automation industry, when they sent large files,
everything went to the public Internet; it was slow and unproductive
for their daily operation. They needed to connect the three locations
together and interact with each other and the MPLS solution enabled
them to do so through a private, fully meshed network.
They now
send files between each other all privately at faster speeds avoiding
the Internet. In addition, they save on their long distance cost since
all their sites are connected through an internet protocol (IP) phone
system allowing them to talk to each other without any per call
charges. They can also do videoconferencing between each sites reducing
travel cost yet still be productive when they need to have face-to-face
meetings.
