Answer:

Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS): It is a routing technique in telecommunications networks that transfers data from 1 node to next node based upon shortest paths instead of long network addresses, hence it avoids rigorous findings in a routing table and speeds the flow of traffic

MPLS provides better performance,scalability,better bandwidth utilization,a better end-user experience and reduced network congestion.Hence it is useful in today's network scenario.
