Multiprotocol Label Switching

Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) is a protocol for speeding up and shaping network traffic flows in telecommunications networks. Coursera's MPLS skill catalogue teaches you about the fundamentals of this highly scalable, protocol-agnostic framework used for data transfer between network nodes. You'll learn about the key features and benefits of MPLS such as traffic engineering, VPNs, and Quality of Service (QoS). Additionally, you'll understand how to configure, troubleshoot, and optimize MPLS to improve network performance, reliability, and scalability. Through this course, you’ll gain comprehensive knowledge of MPLS, preparing you for roles in network engineering, telecommunications, and IT infrastructure management.
