Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) seems to be the most promising networking topology of the year. The design of it merges the portability and simplicity of IP with scalability and dos features of ATM, as well as relatively simple configuration and providing optimal traffic path at all the time. This technology itself delivered a solution for large ISP providers. The wide range applicability is gained by developing MPLS VPN solution. Uniform virtual private networks over various layer2 (Ethernet, PPP, ATM, etc.) can be created using this. These VPN-s can cover multiple geographical areas using WAN links, provide the security and flexibility of VLAN-s, uniform handling of QoS, and the possibility of commonly used resources (that are reachable from several VPN-s). We can easily recognise the benefits of the multiservice networks that can be build using MPLS VPN even in smaller installations.
