VPN TECH: IS MPLS IN YOUR FUTURE?
by Paul Rubens
If you're fed up with managing virtual private networks (VPNs) then
take heart: you are not alone. Although automation and application
templates are making VPNs easier to get up and running every month,
they are far from straightforward. MPLS networks have the advantage of
ubiquity - pretty much every network service provider worth its salt
has, and is actively selling, an MPLS network, with the result that
there is now a globally available MPLS backbone.
