What is an IP VPN MPLS?

MPLS IP VPN is one network for all your Voice & Data applications. Having one network for all applications has always been a dream, but now it’s possible with MPLS IP VPN. This technology combines the flexibility, connectivity, and scalability of IP-based services with the security, privacy, and quality of ATM and frame relay technology.

MPLS IP VPN service delivers a flexible and customizable network that enables you to connect many different locations quickly and easily — across your city or across the world. Reduce costs, simplify operations, and meet the demands of today’s business enterprises with your own personalized MPLS IP VPN.

How Does MPLS Work?

MPLS gives network operators a great deal of flexibility to divert and route traffic around link failures, congestion, and bottlenecks. In an MPLS network, incoming packets are assigned a “label” by a “label edge router.” Packets are forwarded along a “label switch path” where each “label switch router” makes forwarding decisions based solely on the contents of the label.

Benefits of MPLS IP VPN

MPLS IP VPN provides simplified operations with carrier-managed service. This reduces operational costs by offloading complicated routing decisions to the selected network. You will have a managed end-to-end turnkey solution for full service support through one provider and one account team.

Flexible and Scalable

Your new network will support many different applications. This can include any application from e-mail to live video. MPLS IP VPN also has scalable and multiple access options. Customers can choose from a wide variety of access technologies such as ATM, frame relay, private line, or Ethernet, to meet the needs of specific locations. When additional capacity is needed, MPLS IP VPN is scalable to meet increased traffic requirements. Users can easily accommodate a rapidly growing business when they need to add locations or alter the flow of communication between locations.

Global Reach

MPLS IP VPNs are highly successful on a global basis and have been deployed in the US, Europe and Asia. For international locations, multilingual customer support is customary. MPLS IP VPN has a global footprint and can cover hundreds of cities in dozens of countries. The result is business connectivity that enables interaction with remote offices, business partners, industry communities and customers, regardless of global location or specific business application.

Performance and Security

MPLS IP VPN is advanced performance. MPLS encapsulation and switching provides superior performance over Internet-based CPE IP VPNs that can comply with stringent Service Level Agreements (SLAs). MPLS IP VPN includes built in security. MPLS encapsulation and isolation provides ATM-like data security, virtual routing, and forwarding instances. Customers have coverage via a Network Control Center so the IT staff can focus on other important tasks.

Cost Effective

MPLS IP VPN economically consolidates both Layer-2 and Layer-3 applications over one secure private network. Now you can utilize multi-service MPLS IP VPN ports for dedicated Internet access and reduce the need and costs of additional local loops and ports. MPLS IP VPN allows for aggressive SLAs. MPLS IP VPN SLAs address levels of jitter, service availability, latency, packet loss and Quality of Service.

Billing Options

MPLS IP VPN comes with multiple billing options. The client chooses from usage-based, flat rate, and/or committed with usage billing profiles.

Network Visibility & Setup Speed

With MPLS IP VPN, web-based monitoring tools are accessable through a customer portal. These tools allow the customer to view end-to-end metrics for latency, packet loss, availability and jitter. Therefore, the client can maintain optimum network performance and business productivity. MPLS IP VPN can be deployed rapidly. Pre-packaged CPE and managed services simplify set up procedures so the client can begin enjoying all the benefits of MPLS IP VPN service in less time than other more complicated options.

Why Are MPLS IP VPNs So Appealing?

MPLS IP VPNs continue to grow in popularity, with telecommunications research firms citing a 250% increase in deployments between 2002 and 2006. The dramatic growth of MPLS IP VPNs is due to their wide appeal to both carriers and customers. They allow carriers to add value to existing services. For example, IP VPNs may be bundled with existing Frame Relay or Internet access. This compatibility with existing services offers a migration path for ATM and Frame Relay customers. For businesses, MPLS IP VPNs hold wide appeal because of their ability to offer greater connectivity compared to ATM and Frame Relay services at a competitive price point. For network administrators, MPLS IP VPNs provide greater simplicity since a carrier provides management. MPLS IP VPN services offer tremendous flexibility because customers can connect their sites via a wide range of access speeds and technologies.
