Introduction - Two Types of DLLs To Think About
Dynamic Link Libraries are not the only DLLs that a WinBod needs to know about. Equally important, is the Data Link Layer "DLL" of the OSI Reference Model.
Lesson One in HPTT - Building VPNs by Wrapping Packets and Sticking a Path Label on Them So they Know Exactly Where to Go - another way of describing "Multiprotocol Label Switching"
Multiprotocol label switching is also known as MPLS and is a term used in high performance telecoms.

Multiprotocol label switching is also known as MPLS and is a term used in high performance telecoms.
Specifically, it is a technique to direct data from one network node to the next.
Its main selling point is it does away with long network addresses and instead uses short path labels.
Its main selling point is it does away with long network addresses and instead uses short path labels.
The labels identify paths between distant nodes rather than mere endpoints.
Its "multiprotocol" nature stems from the fact that MPLS can encapsulate packets containing data conformant to "any protocol you please". It can be used to build VPNs.
The point is to eliminate dependence on a specific data link layer technology such as Asynchronous Transfer Mode, Ethernet, Frame Relay or Synchronous Optical NETworking (SONET). To understand the data link layer read up on the OSI Reference Model.
What you Ought to Have Known Before Reading this Piece - What Asynchronous Transfer Mode is All About, and in Particular, how it differs from TCP/IP
Transfers data in cells or packets of a fixed size. ATM creates a fixed channel or route for packets to pass through unlike TCP/IP where various packets can take various routes. ATM services generally offer different types of bit rate. UBR, or unspecified bit rate, does not guarantee any throughput levels.
