Current and accurate pricing from MPLS service providers in your area. MPLS offers a faster and less expensive way to transport data than IP routing. It is a forward-only packet technology used ideally in Wide Area Networks. MPLS uses label identifiers instead of IP and short routing addresses so they can share sites while being invisible to other VPNs. MPLS allows multiple VPNs within shared lines, which can dramtically drop costs associated with VPNs.
MPLS Services are typically provided by carriers that also provide the Backbone services like WANs (Wide Area Networks) and MANs (Metropolitan Area Networks). Carrier MPLS service providers own the physical lines, so their own MPLS design can work seemlessly. MPLS can drop the cost of data transmission in area network by increasing the speed at which data is transmitted. It avoids long addresses in a network thereby decreasing the amount of time it takes external database tables to read the address and direct the data. It does this with short routing addresses designed just to get from one network node to another.
Many technologies, e.g. Frame Relay, run slow through a WAN. MPLS over Ethernet service is the time-tested and dependable champion WAN racer, and is also more reliable than Frame Relay, easier to manage, and less expensive. MPLS is not only the preferred method for data transmission in a WAN for the customer, but also carriers. MPLS design allows for an infinite amount of customers without overcrowding the WAN. Carriers over leased line space with Frame Relay which resulted in slow transmission rates, unreliability and high costs.
