Answer:

The answer is "MPLS".

Step-by-step explanation:

The MPLS stands for Multiprotocol Label Switching. This packet switching method facilitates the generation of easier personal backbones using a less physical channel, which sends information from one source to its destination with labels rather than IP addresses. Many of these WAN services are sold through huge companies. It is also a technology for data transfer that boosts speed and regulates network traffic flow. The information is directed with this technology via a label rather than needing complicated surveys at every stop in a route cache.
