Question :Why havent heard about MPLS ?
Answer :Probably because of the availability
NetworkingThere are three (3) networking methode available to manage networks :
Routingprotocols : RIP, OSPF, BGPBridgingprotocols : STP, RSTPSwitchingprotocols : MPLS, ATM, Frame Relay
Concept of Switching
SwitchingSwitching is a network communications methode that groups all transmitted data no matter of content, type or structure into suitably-sized blocks.Each block is then transmited over the network independently of each otherNetwork is capable of allocating transmission resources as needed, in this way optimizing utilization of link capacity and robustness of communication

What is MPLS ?
What is MPLSMPLS stands for Multi protocol Label SwitchingMPLS is a packet forwarding metho based on labels attached to packet and a label forwarding table with minimal lookup overheadWith MPLS the packet forwarding decision is no longer based on IP header and routing tableEfficiency of forwarding process is the main benefit of MPLS
MPLS in OSI LayerMulti Protocol Label Switching is arranged between Layer 2 and Layer 3
Foundations of Traditional IP RoutingRouting protocols are used to distribute Layer 3 routing information.Forwarding decision is made based on:Packet headerLocal routing tableRouting lookups are independently performed at every hop.
Traditional IP RoutingEvery router may need full Internet routing information.Destination-based routing lookup is needed on every hop.
Traditional IP Routing .. Cont.
Basic MPLS FeaturesMPLS leverages both IP routing and CEF (Cisco Express Forwarding) switching.MPLS is a forwarding mechanism in which packets are forwarded based on labels. MPLS was designed to support multiple Layer 3 protocols Typically, MPLS labels correspond to destination networks (equivalent to traditional IP forwarding).
Topology MPLSR1 & R6 = Provider Edge (PE) Router = Edge Label Switch Router (ELSR)R2, R3, R4, R5 = Provider (P) Router = Label Switch Router (LSR)

Label Switch Routers: Architecture of LSRs
MPLS Architecture: Control Plane
MPLS Architecture: Data Plane
LSRs: Architecture of Edge LSRs
MPLS Devices: LSRsThe LSR forwards labeled packets in the MPLS domain.The edge LSR (LER) forwards labeled packets in the MPLS domain, and it forwards IP packets into and out of the MPLS domain.
LSR Architecture ExampleMPLS router functionality is divided into two major parts: the control plane and the data plane.
MPLS operation (1)
Basic MPLS ExampleMPLS core routers swap labels and forward packets based on simple label lookups.MPLS edge routers also perform a routing table lookup, and add or remove labels.

SummaryTraditional IP routing forwards packets based on the destination address.MPLS forwards packets based on labels.MPLS supports multiple applications.MPLS has two major architectural components:Control plane (exchanges routing information, exchanges labels)Data plane (forwards packets)LSRs implement label exchange protocols and primarily forward packets based on labels. The role of Edge LSRs is primarily to forward packets into and out of the MPLS domain.
