Advantages of MPLS

One of the most obvious advantages of MPLS is that it provides network administrators with a number of tools for traffic engineering. An MPLS network can offer the same sort of quality of service guarantees that data transport services like Frame Relay or ATM can, without requiring the use of any dedicated lines.

An administrator, for example, can define a LSP that ensures VoIP traffic will be routed through the most reliable, highest performing sections of the network while less critical traffic, such as email, is sent across the slower sections.
