Multiprotocol Label Switching: Enhancing Routing in the New Public Network

Overview Both large and small Internet Service Providers (ISPs) constantly face the challenges of adapting their networks to support rapid growth and customer demand for more reliable and differentiated services.

Moreover, many carriers found it cost-effective to multiplex Internet traffic as one of many services carried over an ATM core.
