IP/MPLS

IP-MPLS Routing Increases Speed and Flow of Network Traffic

Infinity Technology Solutions understands the importance of controlling the speed and flow of your organization’s network traffic. With Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS), your data will be directed through its path by labels rather than receiving complex lookups at every routing location.

As a networking technology that directs data from nodes using labels, the benefits of IP-MPLS are better network performance, more efficient bandwidth utilization, and a better end-user experience. IP-MPLS routing has increased due to its ability to forward a range of network protocols. It is the ideal solution for network and services convergence for both Enterprises and Service Providers.

MPLS Enables Traffic Engineering and Prioritization

With MPLS when a packet enters your network, it receives a forwarding Class of Service (CoS) designation. In essence, packets are given a label.

Voice and video traffic could be labeled as “real-time” in their requirements, which tells the network their level of service quality—how fast the packet needs to reach its end point. The appropriate service quality across the network is determined by labels such as “mission-critical” or “best-effort.”

MPLS networks utilize two different kinds of routers: transit routers and edge routers. If your protocol is IP, your IP packet will pass through your edge router first. Your MPLS edge router will assess the information contained in the packet to decide its CoS.

MPLS edge routers from Infinity Technology Solutions are designed to perform complex calculations quickly to avoid any latency in the process of determining a packet’s QoS.

Once the packet entering your network has been “tagged”—similar to how airlines tags your luggage—your transit router reads the label and sends the packet along according to the CoS information appended to it.

The Benefits of IP/MPLS

The ability to select the CoS for traffic in your network with MPLS was traditionally used as a replacement for circuit-based networks that businesses used to connect branch offices.

Later, IP/MPLS networks brought about virtual private networks or VPNs, as both Enterprises and Service Providers saw the benefit of delivering mission-critical services across their networks. Using labels, MPLS can virtually separate VPN data, making packets completely secure as they pass through a network.

Moving forward, as an ultra-reliable network technology, MPLS is especially well-suited for mission-critical services and real-time applications. Even as IP traffic has become more reliable since the introduction of MPLS, there will always be plenty of use cases in which it is the ideal solution.

Industries We Serve

Infinity Technology Solutions serves a number of industry verticals among our Enterprise clients with MPLS.

Utilities

As power utilities embark on Smart Grid projects and applications, our IP/MPLS network for mission-critical communications will prove essential to this endeavor. The end-to-end service consistency that MPLS provides is necessary to meet key Smart Grid application requirements in the management of two-way communications.

Aviation

With Nokia’s converged IP/MPLS from Infinity Technology Solutions, your airport can embrace new applications and services, while reducing TCO. Delivering mission-critical information across your network to pilots, airport staff, and passengers is a vital measure that all airports and airlines need to take.

Railways

IP/MPLS gives station managers and railways the ability to support high-bandwidth applications from CCTV systems to driverless trains. Increase the security of your railway by ensuring mission-critical video and CCTV feeds receive priority in reaching employees responsible for station safety.

Highways

A range of devices use highway communication networks, and not all of them deserve equal CoS. IP/MPLS has helped to usher in Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS). With IP/MPLS, your ITS begins to make informed decisions about prioritizing certain communications, such as emergency communication, over others.

Data Centers

With the introduction of 5G, data centers have deployed IP/MPLS to deliver the ultra-low latency and high capacity that customers have come to expect from their networks. With our extensive inventory of MPLS routers from Nokia and other vendors, Infinity is poised to help data centers better direct traffic from the edge to the core.

Defense

TDM and SONET/SDH networks that performed admirably for the DoD in the delivery of mission-critical voice, video, and data have reached the end of their life cycle. The Department of Defense is now deploying IP/MPLS as part of the transition from their legacy TDM systems to a faster and more efficient network routing technology.
