VoIP - IP Telephony White Papers
Convergence: Enabling Your Network with MPLS
Overview
MPLS is the ideal environment for supporting a converged architecture, according to Tom Siracusa, Director of VPN Strategy at AT&T Labs.
MPLS offers the privacy of frame relay and ATM networks, as well as the flexibility that IP networks provide. MPLS enables you to support and integrate different access technologies, optimize your application infrastructure to meet business continuity and security needs, and take advantage of a service-over IP infrastructure that can take you to the next level of collaboration and productivity.
