Multi Protocol Label Switching (MPLS) is a connection-oriented
technology that offers unique traffic  engineering
capabilities that can improve network usage. MPLS can
be used to improve IP routing efficiency by moving traffic
glows away from the shortest path determined by conventional
routing, and onto less congested paths through the network.
This concise application note provides a quick introduction
to MPLS and a few easy test steps required to test the
router's forwarding capabilities and provide performance
measurements.
It then continues to discuss the basics of MPLS and
the basic steps required to test a router's forwarding
capabilities and then measuring in real-time the router's
ability to efficiently forward traffic from the appropriate
output interfaces.
