What are Label Switched Routers
Label Switched Routers (LSRs) are a part of the MPLS family. These are the packet handling nodes. Multiprotocol Label Switched routers forward data packets with the help of MPLS labels. These Label Switched Routers help direct the packets of data to the destination. MPLS is a systematic and organized way of sending data packets from one source to another.
MPLS – Increased speed of routers
MPLS helps increase the speed of the routers. It is a standard technology that offers great flexibility to the IP networks and other range of networks. Traffic Engineering and VPN are two applications where MPLS technology is widely used.
