Understanding MPLS (Multi Protocol Label Switching)

Course Overview: Explore the world of MPLS (Multi Protocol Label Switching) in this comprehensive course. MPLS is a revolutionary networking mechanism that employs labels instead of traditional routing techniques. Commonly found in service provider networks, MPLS can transport a wide range of data formats, including IP, IPv6, Ethernet, frame-relay, and PPP. Additionally, MPLS VPN is a widely adopted method for creating secure virtual private networks within MPLS provider networks.

Course Highlights: Throughout this course, you will gain knowledge in the following areas:

The Purpose of MPLS: Understand the reasons behind the adoption of MPLS in networking.

MPLS Fundamentals: Dive into the fundamentals of MPLS, including its functioning and key concepts.

Label-Based Forwarding: Explore how labels are utilized to direct traffic within MPLS networks.
