Differences between MPLS and frame relay The Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) protocol is a relatively new technology (less than 10 years old), and many organizations have been actively replacing their frame relay networks with MPLS service when their contracts expire. What is MPLS? According to Iain Stevenson, networking analyst at Ovum, "MPLS is a mechanism for labelling traffic flows to define a path through a complex network. A network operator can use MPLS as a management tool, as capacity and routes can be seen." Is MPLS the right solution for a retailer with multi-locations? Many retailers still use dial ups, satellite, frame relay or DSL connections, because they don't know the true benefits of an MPLS network yet. However, more are starting to find out the benefits of having an MPLS connection especially for the stores that want to manage their various locations from one central location. To get the best deal on a quality DS3 Line When businesses consider upgrading their broadband connections to have more bandwidth, they often look for a DS3 line or an ethernet line. Because ethernet connections are only limited to certain areas, DS3 connections are usually the best options to consider. A DS3 and a T3 are the same kind of circuit, people use the words interchangeably. Understanding the differences in cost between T3/ DS3, OC3, FastE, and GigE For businesses that have a DS3 line already and looking to upgrade to more bandwidth and wondering if getting an OC3 connection or an fast ethernet (FastE) is the way to go, you'll have a better idea after reading this article. Using Internet Broadband connections to Enhance Pharmacy-Based Patient Care More and more pharmacies are using computers for emails and electronic communications with other professionals and now some are even communicating with their patients electronically. As more and more bandwidth is used, the broadband connections are more prevalent, especially the T1 lines . When most pharmacies used dial ups, satellite or slow frame relay connections, they are now upgrading to T1 connections and if there are multiple locations, some are even getting MPLS connections in order to connect the locations together and communicate more effectively. For back up solutions, a fixed wireless internet solution could be ideal for them.
