Campus Area Networks of the University using MPLS, VLANs and the Internet

Multiprotocol Label Switching MPLS primarily implements and uses labels for making routing decisions. The label based switching mechanism enables the network packets to flow on any protocol. MPLS operates by assigning a unique label or identifier to each network packet. The label consists of the routing table information, such as the destination IP address, bandwidth and other factors as well as source IP and socket information. The router can refer only to the label to make the routing decision rather than looking into the packet. A VLAN virtual LAN abstracts the idea of the local area network LAN by providing data link connectivity for a subnet. One or more network switches may support multiple, independent VLANs, creating Layer 2 data link implementations of subnets. A VLAN is associated with a broadcast domain. It is usually composed of one or more Ethernet switches.
