Configuring MPLS

This chapter describes how to configure Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) on your ERX system. MPLS is a hybrid protocol that integrates network layer routing with label switching to provide a layer 3 network with traffic management capability. Traffic engineering enables more effective use of network resources while maintaining high bandwidth and stability.
