Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS)

This series focuses on Multiprotocol Label Switching and how it is used to build scalable, efficient, and flexible service provider networks. Learners will explore key MPLS topics such as Label Distribution Protocol, Layer 3 VPNs, PE-CE routing with OSPF, EIGRP, and BGP, along with MPLS load balancing. The series helps learners understand how MPLS forwards traffic using labels, supports VPN services, connects customer networks through provider infrastructure, and improves traffic handling across large network environments. It is useful for network engineers who want to strengthen their knowledge of MPLS design, implementation, and troubleshooting.
