The main objective of the thesis is to investigate and study MPLS (multiprotocol label switching), its background and technology basics, to define what is MPLS, its features and concepts
The given work is devoted to the investigation the current trends of using the Software-defined WAN as a specific application of software-defined networking technology applied to WAN connections such as broadband internet, 4G, LTE, or MPLS. While connecting enterprise networks – including branch offices and data centers – over large geographic distances, SD-WAN simplifies the management and operation of a WAN by separating the networking hardware from its control mechanism.
