Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) is a networking technique used by internet service providers and large enterprises to direct data efficiently across a network by routing traffic based on short labels rather than long network addresses, bypassing complex routing table lookups. It speeds up and shapes traffic flow between network nodes and supports quality-of-service prioritization for applications like voice and video. Network engineers configure and maintain MPLS to provide reliable, high-performance wide-area network connectivity for businesses.
