Better Application Performance

MPLS enables businesses to prioritize voice, video and data on one private network with up to six Classes of Service (CoS). MPLS traffic engineering and routing optimizes bandwidth usage and provides better support for all your business applications, including latency-sensitive VoIP and video.

Because MPLS is highly scalable and less complex than its predecessors, businesses gain more flexibility, less overhead and improved control over network costs. As you consider adopting an MPLS-based WAN solution, it is important to understand the benefits of MPLS in comparison to your existing network infrastructure as well as how service and support vary across MPLS providers. From local access options to CoS to routing protocols, MPLS providers vary in what they offer, what comes standard with their MPLS offering, and which restrictions they place on their customers.
