MPLS/SR-MPLS - Service Provider Solutions

VyOS MPLS/SR-MPLS

Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) has long been the foundation of carrier-grade and enterprise backbone networks, delivering high-speed forwarding, advanced traffic engineering, and scalable VPN services. By introducing labels to direct packets through predetermined paths, MPLS provides predictable performance, efficient resource utilization, and seamless support for converged services such as voice, video, and data.Segment Routing over MPLS (SR-MPLS) evolves this architecture by removing the need for complex signaling protocols like LDP or RSVP-TE. Instead, SR-MPLS leverages the intelligence of the network edge to define flexible forwarding paths using segments, significantly simplifying design and operations. This modern approach enables granular traffic control, fast re-routing, and tight integration with SDN and automation systems, making SR-MPLS a natural fit for dynamic and cloud-centric environments.

VyOS brings these technologies into a single, unified, and open network operating system that is both flexible and cost-efficient. With VyOS, organizations can implement MPLS and SR-MPLS features on commodity hardware or virtual platforms, eliminating dependence on proprietary solutions while retaining carrier-class capabilities.
