Overlay networking has been around for more than a decade now, and the ideas behind it are well established. While both MPLS and VXLAN are overlay technologies, they address different requirements. MPLS is designed to increase packet processing speed while VXLAN aims to allow networks to support more LANs. Let’s…
Given the dramatic increase in Internet data traffic, network operators began replacing their older SDH/SONET technology with packet-based technologies such as MPLS (Multiprotocol Label Switching). MPLS standard is coming into vogue as a way to provide SONET-like resiliency in packet networks. Created to provide more deterministic behavior, MPLS has become the…
While both MPLS and Point to Point leased lines are popular choices in establishing enterprise-wide networks, each comes with its own merits and limitations. This article will discuss both in detail and also highlight the difference between MPLS and point to point internet connectivity so you can choose the one…
As enterprises grow, they need to build a network infrastructure that connects branch offices in different geographic regions. IT networking teams must balance the organization’s need for performance and reliability while considering costs and compliance. Because geographic distance can lower performance and increase cost, connecting remote sites can be challenging.…
Because of the numerous benefits of MPLS/Multi-Protocol Label Switching networks, they are a popular connectivity option for most businesses today. It offers excellent speed as well as the flexibility required to work efficiently. MPLS allows the enterprise data to be transported privately via the service provider’s network. In other words,…
See below for an excellent PowerPoint PPT presentation comparing SD-WAN and MPLS. Can They Work Together? There’s always a debate of what network solution fits best in the current corporate landscape, what with digital transformation going full force in revolutionizing how business is done. The rise of software-defined networking (SDN)…
