Nex-G Innovations

The objective of the MPLS Training & Certification program is to equip participants with a comprehensive understanding of Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) technology, including its architecture, operations, and practical applications.

The program aims to develop skills in configuring MPLS-based networks, implementing Layer 2 and Layer 3 VPNs, optimizing traffic with MPLS Traffic Engineering (MPLS-TE), and enhancing network performance through Quality of Service (QoS) techniques.

By the end of the training, participants will be proficient in deploying and managing MPLS networks for enterprise and service provider environments, enabling them to address real-world networking challenges effectively.
