The Essential Guide to Deploying MPLS for Enterprise Networks

Tags:
mpls

Overview MPLS has received broad market attraction in service provider networks and now enterprises are increasingly connecting the distributed and extended enterprise via MPLS-based Wide Area Networks (WANs) or deploying their own private MPLS networks. MPLS brings the benefits of circuits to packet based IP communications providing consolidation, control, and network resiliency. Perceived as complex, MPLS actually serves to simplify the network, reduce cost, and enables network convergence with greater control and resiliency for the enterprise. This Paper provides a guide for the enterprise in making network design considerations and to deploy Private MPLS or to connect to a service provider's MPLS-based WAN offering.
