Network Carriers and business organizations are constantly seeking new ways to scale up and improve their service abilities. GMPLS is one such technology that has emerged from the business’s need for merging the worlds of optical and IP (internet network) networking. GMPLS or Generalized Multiprotocol Label Switching is primarily a protocol suite that extends from […]
MPLS vs IPSEC has been a widely debated topic since the former was launched in the early 2000’s. Before this, IPsec was a default VPN service provided by most telecom service providers. While the industry was happy with this setup, MPLS provided much more and became a strong contender for the top and most widely […]
SONET, or Synchronous Optical Network, is best understood as a communication protocol. This technology can transfer a number of digital bit streams over fiber optical networks, using LEDs or lasers. SONET optical networks are capable of carrying large amounts of data over these fiber optic cables at lightning-fast speeds. Read on to find out more […]
Both MPLS and VPLS are recommended as solutions for establishing network connections between various locations. However, each comes with its own set of strengths and weaknesses. The MPLS vs VPLS debate largely depends on the solution’s relevance in the larger network architecture plan and business requirements. What is MPLS? MPLS or Multiprotocol label switching mechanism […]
What Does DS0 Mean? Ds0 or digital signaling zero is basically the transmission rate of Digital signaling. This standard digital transmission rate is set at 64 kilobits per second. In other words, it is the same rate as the capacity of the single analog voice frequency communication channel. How Does DS0 Work? DS0 comprises one […]
MPLS was revolutionary in the network connectivity space, worthy of leaving a legacy. However, that is exactly what it has become, a legacy system. To be more specific, MPLS has become somewhat outdated in the current networking world. MPLS costs can be quite high as compared to simple internet connections. There are several reasons behind […]
