11.8 VPN Transport Technical Reference
This section includes background information about VPN Transport.
11.8.1 Multi-Protocol Label Switching
The ZyXEL Device uses MPLS VPNs to create virtual private LANs. MPLS stands for Multi-
Protocol Label Switching, and is a packet-switching technology that allows packets with
different VLAN tags to be transported on different paths (known as LSPs, or Label Switched
Paths). Each packet is identified by its VLAN tag and sent to a specific LSP for transport over
the WiMAX network.
