Canonical page: https://career.thegoodapps.co/skills/mpls

MPLS (Multiprotocol Label Switching) is a networking technique used by internet service providers and enterprises to speed up and direct data traffic by routing it based on short path labels rather than long network addresses. It sits between traditional Layer 2 and Layer 3 protocols, enabling efficient traffic engineering, quality-of-service prioritization, and reliable WAN connectivity across multiple sites. Network engineers and telecom providers rely on it to build private, high-performance corporate networks.
