A study on mpls vs sd-wan

Abstract

Internet service providers and techno enterprises evolved with CISCO IOS called MPLS built a strong and diligent network for succeeding generations to utilize all sorts of full-fledged amnesties over a solitary structure. MPLS is considered as a routing method, and it is not a facility or a service. MPLS can be encased with any prevailing infrastructures, namely digital subscriber line, asynchronous transfer mode, frame relay, and IP. MPLS is not platform dependent. It can work seamlessly without making any change in the current environment of these technologies. But implementing MPLS is quite expensive, so with the support of SD-WAN, ISPs and enterprises are attempted to enhance its usages using inexpensive Internet connection. This survey articled aimed to compare the pros and cons of both the technologies MPLS and SD-WAN.
