Quick Summary

MPLS (Multiprotocol Label Switching) is a network technology that enhances data transfer efficiency. It is used to route data packets quickly and efficiently, improving the performance and reliability of IoT networks.

 

Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) is an advanced technique used in telecommunications to control the speed and flow of data traffic between network nodes.

MPLS ensures that data packets are directly routed through dedicated short path labels across networks – a far more effective way of transmitting data compared to using long network IP addresses and complex routing tables.
