Abstract -
Existing Routing protocols like OSPF, IGRP and RIP enable routers to dynamically choose the path to the destination on a packet by packet basis. But these techniques respond slowly to congestion issues and do not provide quality of service to certain bandwidth specific applications. All the data may flow from the same end points thus leading to congestion and choking on the network. In MPLS, data flows as per the QoS and traffic demands. Thus packets are forwarded on a flow by flow basis and substantially increasing network capacity. We emphasise the universal nature of MPLS technology as it entices all the users who are seeking the ways to optimize resources and expand QoS support. In this paper, we reviewed MPLS technology in details which is an advanced packet forwarding techniques.
