What is IP/MPLS?
IP/MPLS refers to the integration of Internet Protocol (IP) and Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS). It's a routing technique in telecommunications networks that directs data from one node to the next based on short path labels rather than long network addresses, avoiding complex lookups in a routing table. MPLS is commonly used by service providers to create VPNs, implement traffic engineering for QoS, and accelerate packet forwarding.
