The present paper emphasizes the crucial benefits of Internet protocol/multiprotocol label switching (IP/MPLS) networks. This protocol implies broad development of the information transmission between users and successful implementation of algorithms and methods that might generate a balance in the data load passing through the links between devices. MPLS proposes imperative solutions to network architectures that are affected by rapid changes of the properties of traffic, such as traffic peaks that must be controlled. Additionally, this document underlines the efficiencies of MPLS networks such as lower costs, quality of service attributes, scalability and vigorous traffic routing by creating two scenarios and analyzing their characteristics.
