India’s fastest and indigenously designed IP/MPLS (Multiprotocol Label Switching) router was launched on 9th March in Bengaluru by the Union Minister for Communications, Electronics and Information Technology.
Key points
- MPLS is a routing technique in telecommunications networks that directs data from one node to the next, based on labels rather than network addresses.
- The unveiling of this cutting-edge router marks a momentous occasion for the nation, showcasing India’s prowess in technological innovation and self-reliance.
- MPLS is protocol-agnostic and can speed up and shape traffic flows across WANs and service provider networks. By optimizing traffic, MPLS reduces downtime and improves speed and quality of service (QoS).
