MPLS VPN Core

MPLS provides an efficient mechanism for supporting VPNs, which offer performance guarantees and security. Using a VPN, customer traffic passes transparently through the Internet in a way that effectively segregates the storage traffic from other traffic on the backbone network. Figure 4-9shows a sample architecture for an MPLS VPN for storage.
