Time to Read: 5 minutes Virtual Local Area Networks (VLANs) are a powerful tool in network management. By grouping devices on a network according to specific criteria such as location, function, or security needs, administrators can simplify network management, improve security, and optimize network performance. A Layer 2 VLAN, also known as a Switched VLAN, operates at the data link layer (Layer 2) of the OSI model. VLANs enable network administrators to create logical segments…

Understanding QoS: How it Works and its Importance – Posted in: Technology

Time to read: 3-4 minutes Quality of Service (QoS) is a critical feature in networking that enables network administrators to prioritize traffic based on specific requirements, ensuring that high-priority traffic receives preferential treatment over lower-priority traffic. QoS helps to guarantee the performance and reliability of critical network applications, such as voice and video, by ensuring that these applications have sufficient bandwidth and low latency. QoS works by assigning different levels of priority to various types…

Understanding MPLS: An Overview of MPLS Technology – Posted in: Network, Technology

Time needed to read: 5-6 minutes. MPLS (Multiprotocol Label Switching) is a high-performance networking technology that is widely used in large enterprise networks, service provider networks, and data centers. It is a packet-switched technology that operates at Layer 2 and Layer 3 of the OSI model, and it offers a number of benefits over traditional IP-based routing, including faster routing, better QoS (Quality of Service), and improved network security. MPLS is based on the concept…
