• Security – MPLS networks are private networks with no public infrastructure involved. This makes MPLS networks very secure. A conventional VPN shares public infrastructure with other VPN. This makes MPLS highly desirable.
• Efficiency – MPLS networks are highly efficient. The data packets are assigned with labels which contain all the information about the IP. This helps reduce the load on the network by removing the need of reading the entire data packet at each router.
• Traffic Engineering – MPLS networks create virtual links between nodes and therefore help divert and route traffic around link failures, congestion and bottlenecks.
• Cost – MPLS networks do not require any additional infrastructure, therefore making a shift to MPLS does not cost you much. Also once the MPLS network is set, it does not require any extra maintenance to be done by you.

MPLS offers a lot of benefits at a fraction of cost. This has made MPLS very popular and lots of companies are now setting up their networks using this technology.
