MPLS network solutions are the leading and fastest growing network service for both small businesses and large enterprises. Implementing a MPLS network has gained in popularity because it provides a great degree of security, allows for more options with Quality of Service (QOS), and has been time tested for almost a decade by large enterprises they replaced legacy frame relay networks with MPLS networks.
The MPLS network offers:
- Any to Any access because it is a fully meshed network
- MPLS Network Quality of Service (QOS) and Class of Service (CoS)
- Ability to handle real time VoIP, Video, SIP, and other latency intolerant traffic
- MPLS can automatically route around points of failure
MPLS is a cost effective WAN solution for both large enterprises and small business. The MPLS network is a secure, scalable, and highly redundant network solution that can be used for bandwidth applications with a single remote worker, or more commonly as a core network service for all network communications between locations.
Network convergence is a driver for the widespread adoption of MPLS network solutions because of the ability to provide both Class of Service, which identifies the type of traffic is transiting the network, and Quality of Service, which allows network managers to prioritize the classes of service.
An MPLS network can provide a very granular Class of Service, with some carriers having up to six classes, for example:
- Real Time Voice
- Real Time Video
- Mission Critical Data
- Business Data
- General Data
- Other
This gives the network manager tremendous flexibility in terms of how they assign packets. The assignment can be based on numerous factors such as the source address, the destination address, they application type, and the point of entry or exit from the MPLS network, such as in the case of a SIP session terminating to the PSTN. The result is a network service that meets the requirements better than any other similar competing service.
