hi all
I am still new to MPLS, I like to know the reason of the technology I read before going into the details.
As I understand, the idea of MPLS is to forward the traffic based on Labels not IP destination address ? (default).
I tried to google the reason for this and found most of the resources explain the architecture of the MPLS, I got general answers which I could not understand well like: performance, Scalability, flexibility ,,, etc, which I do not think the traditional IP forwarding methods limit the performance !!!
can someone please explain to me why this idea came in mind ?
many thanks,
