Cutting Through the Complexity of Multi-Protocol Label Switching (MPLS) Performance

Overview Multi-Protocol Label Switching (MPLS) has gained attention as organizations look for new ways to lower the cost, extend the scalability, improve the reliability and secure their network data, however, these gains are offset by a lack of visibility into the detailed information needed for troubleshooting and traffic engineering networks. This paper outlines the best practices for collecting network and application performance information over MPLS enabled wide area networks (WANs).
