Internet
T1: A T1 is a digital transmission circuit standardized in
the United States, Canada, and Japan that consists of twenty-four
64 Kbps channels that use using pulse code modulation (PCM) signals
with time-division multiplexing (TDM) at an overall rate of 1.544
million bits per second (Mbps). T1 lines may use copper wire, optical,
and wireless media.

MPLS (Multi-Protocol
Label Switching): Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) is
a standardized data switching technology that optimizes network traffic
flow and eases management of data networks. MPLS carves specific paths
data packets that are identified by a label that saves the time needed
for a router to look up the address to the next node in order to forward
the packet. MPLS works with the Internet Protocol (IP), Asynchronous
Transport Mode (ATM), and frame relay network protocols. MPLS allows
most packets to be forwarded at the layer 2 (switching) level rather
than at the layer 3 (routing) level and makes it easy to manage quality
of service (QoS).
