What is MPLS-TE?

MPLS-TE (Multiprotocol Label Switching - Traffic Engineering) is a traffic engineering technology that utilizes MPLS to optimize network resource utilization and improve network performance. It enables the creation of explicit routes for traffic flows, allowing network operators to bypass congested links and direct traffic along paths that meet specific requirements, such as bandwidth or latency.
