| MPLS (Multi-Protocol Label Switching) |
 |
| MPLS (Multi-Protocol Label Switching) is a private IP VPN, combining the flexible any-to-any communication found on PSTN or Internet with the reliability, quality and security delivered via Private Line, Frame Relay or ATM services. |
|
 |
| It offers differentiated performance levels and prioritization of delay and non-delay sensitive traffic as well as voice and multimedia applications - all on a single network. A range of management options are available including supply and management of Customer Premise Equipment (CPE), providing a fully managed solution. Alternatively unmanaged options are also available to provide companies with the flexibility to manage their own CPE. |
 |
| Who uses MPLS? |
 |
| This solution is ideal for any type or size of company or organization. It could be used by a start-up company establishing its first network or an organization seeking to upgrade from private circuits or other networking options. |
 |
| What can I do with MPLS? |
 |
| MPLS is the latest technology and is ideal for customers requiring any-to-any connectivity with a suite of access options - everything from mobile through dial and ADSL, to high speed Gigabit fixed access circuits. MPLS with "Class of Service" enables customers to prioritize time critical applications to ensure they perform as expected, without affecting end user performance. |
 |
| What are the benefits of MPLS? |
 |
| A Class of Service enabled network allows customers to use a single IP networking infrastructure to support multiple applications such as voice, data and video. Class of Service is essential if you want to guarantee the performance of your time critical applications such as voice. |
