In this video, CBT Nuggets trainer Knox Hutchinson covers MPLS VPNs: what's even the point of them and why are they still around?
Despite having been around for quite some time, MPLS VPNs are still very popular among service providers, who continue offering them to their customers. Knox explains how exactly they came into existence, and what makes them uniquely suited to most customers' needs.
Customers can deploy an IPSEC site-to-site VPN on their own. So why do so many companies instead opt for the more expensive, managed MPLS VPN? Watch to learn the answer and to learn how MPLS VPNs accomplish the underlying goal of a VPN better than the alternatives.

Mpls bro. This is an old technology. Super slow. Fiber point to point brother. Why are you still talking about MPLS in 2021? Wow.

Said the guy who's obviously never worked in an ISP.

@@williebrown4266 Mmmhmm. It may be significantly less expensive for the customer to buy into a service provider metro ethernet solution with guaranteed bandwidth, where the service provider's topology allows for multiple customers to share a much higher bandwidth backbone.
MPLS can also be leveraged intra-org for large organizations, to write essentially flat acces control rules for most subnets of common types of users across sites, with complex rules or rules subject to more frequent change between disparate types of subnets at the central firewall(s) that the VRFs are joined on. Instead of having to push-out rules to a hundred sites I may only have to push rules to two central firewalls or the controller for the firewall array.

MPLS is still an evolving protocol, but it is supported by the vast majority of routing vendors now a Days a lot of customer still want to use MPLS

@ Davi Santo I hope you meant Metro Ethernet, Fiber point to point AKA "Dark Fiber" does not scale well and is very costly. Just imagine the cost of getting dark fiber between New York to California.

@Makingdifference100 You’re wrong on so many levels.
