MPLS & VPLS – what’s the difference?

As a multi-site business, MPLS and VPLS both provide effective solutions for creating network connections and sharing data between your locations. However, each has distinct benefits and advantages, which makes choosing the right option for your business crucial.

MPLS – or Multiprotocol Label Switching – is an efficient way of directing network traffic to prioritise your most important data. It provides a highly-flexible backbone for your network with high levels of scalability.

VPLS, on the other hand, allows two remote networks to be joined over a single connection, allowing them to safely communicate with one another across the same local network.

However, just because MPLS and VPLS are different technologies, it doesn’t mean they are mutually exclusive. They can, in fact, both be deployed within your network to give your business the best of both worlds.
