What is MPLS and How Does it Work? | CBT Nuggets

[@pepintechnlogy7965]

Jeremy is the coolest teacher. I could listen to him for hours. He can be very funny too. Entertaining and informative, he is the best.

[@cbtnuggets]

Thanks for the feedback Pepin Nator! We are glad you enjoy his training Nuggets.

[@HIBaysal]

+Pepin Nator yea, ccna , ccnp was even dissapointed to not hear him in CCIE.. :P

[@lalibigger6116]

+Pepin Nator me too, he has the ability to teach the complex things in easy way (sorry for my english, english is not my mother tongue), he's very funny and we spend good time learning networking

[@mohammedyassinejennane5933]

I cannot agree more !

[@karanbagaria2702]

I missed listening to Jeremy after so long. He helped me through my CCNA, CCNP when I started out in my networking career. After listening to him, we felt Networking is the most exciting thing there. One of the best trainers ever!!!!

[@rc6385]

Same here

[@HIBaysal]

autoplay in background started to play this, and I immidiatly got a smile when i heard his voice. Knew exactly what started playing and who...Been sooo long.. Thank you Jeremy!

[@Cut-raw]

@@HIBaysal thanks to him 10 years ago I got CCNA done. In this video, I wasnt sure if it is him but as soon as I heard the signature greeting at the end, I also had to smile.

[@thamzeethismail5482]

Missing a lot him videos .. he is absolutely pro

[@zacharynelson8208]

4:00-5:07 did it for me. I had a general idea of MPLS, but that illustration cleared it up a whole lot more. Thank you Jeremy and CBT Nuggets.

[@thomaslam8448]

I work at a Tier 1 Global ISP, Fortune 100 and all that jazz. But I owe my career to Jeremy. If I ever meet him, I'm buying him a beer. Now I train our new Engineers on MPLS, and this is the first video I send them to.

[@cbtnuggets]

Thomas, thanks for your comment. We are glad that Jeremy is apart of the CBT Nuggets team and has helped you with your career.

[@jayfloramusic]

you owe your whole career to Jeremy and all you buy him is a beer? nah man, take him out to Dinner or something :)

[@magpieenterprise6781]

Dinner's on me

[@nicksgarage8295]

i thought you meant a T1 line not tier 1 haha

[@kevinsmith-dn1px]

This guy got me through my CCNA! what a legend!!

[@zes3813]

no such thing as difficult to explain or wide or netx etc, ts machinex, no nerx, cepitxuxyuax, say, can say any nmw and any s perfect, any infix relatex any nmw

[@cbtnuggets]

Thanks for the feedback Mohammed and congratulations on completing your CCNA! #conquer

[@arminfalcon5871]

Jeremy is as awesome as it can get, to be honest, I can't see a cooler teacher than Jeremy , I'm a huge fan ;)

[@cbtnuggets]

Armin Falcon We agree, Jeremy is a rock star trainer! Thanks for the feedback.

[@TheAnkurj]

CBT Nuggets Yes. Yes. I have a man crush on Jeremy.

[@Drink_the_cool-aid]

@@TheAnkurj 8 years later and its still holds true.

[@kwabenaapprey5909]

Jeremy, thank you for taking this complex topic and putting it into simple terms explaining the benefits for customers as well as service providers. Well done.

[@pinkjellybon]

I can't believe how easily you explained it. I've been reading through sites trying to understand what MPLS is for hours. I'm so lucky I found your video! Bless you, laddy! :D

[@wingsofsuspensionlifts6814]

this is the same guy that helped me get my MCITP which is now retired.... his voice is so easy to remember.

[@hellomansoor]

Hi Jeremy ...Yor are a Star Man ............ finish my ccna and just today my ccnp exams from your video series ....

[@rawkfist-ih6nk]

I like how 12 years later hearing him say 1000mbps sounds like a huge deal

[@richardbarry8206]

i dont leave comments often, but i had to leave one with you. your explanation was so precise that it was exactly what I was hoping to get. freaking AWESOME. a little cheesy with the jokes, but you quickly dove into the topic. Thank you for the video

[@NealDaringer]

I'm studying for Network+ and had no clue what MPLS was. Between this video and the comments I have something to wrap my head around. Fantastic video.

[@cbtnuggets]

That's great to hear, thank you for watching, Neal!

[@petrosabajyan]

It's such a pleasure listening to Jeremy.

[@emunyasa]

Jeremy is a great trainer and has a way of making the most complex of topics palatable....

[@Bokifide76]

Had to go through a couple of videos to finally find a winner that would make great sense of it :) Thanks guys!

[@DD-mr2tk]

yOU MAKE IT LOOK SO EASY :). CAME HERE FOR REFRESHING MPLS. BY THE WAY, I STARTED WATCHING YOUR VIDEOS IN 2016, EVEN PURCHASED YOUR CCNA COURSE FROM CBTNUGGETS :)

[@AhmedSaid-kz2qf]

[@FRINDSHIP4U]

I love this guy's lectures.. simply amzing.

[@CSCollections]

[@vrkondemand]

if jeremy is the teacher i can learn any thing.lovvveeee youuuuu jeremyyy biggest fan

[@ahmadsaid987]

Man that's Engineer Mr. Jeremy there... Hands Down

[@markarca6360]

MPLS is the WAN counterpart of VLANs.

[@Gtv7020]

that is over over over over oversimplified definition!

[@Takeda0x64]

Bro i just love the way you explain stuff and make it enjoyable Thanks!

[@James_Knott]

A couple of points. MPLS is the new frame relay, in that it provides virtual circuits between points. Also a T1, often called DS1, is frequently emulated these days. I have put them over Ethernet over short haul microwave. Further, the multimedia benefit is becoming less important as the world moves to Ethernet over copper, fibre or radio. With the trend to move even residential customers to fibre, even xDSL is becoming less common. BTW, I've been around long enough to remember when my employer retired their last revenue Morse wire. I've seen a lot of changes in that time. One of them was ATM, which was supposed to do a lot of what MPLS does. However, it never really took off beyond the phone companies.

[@chiefwils0n]

I like the direction cbtnuggets is heading. The Micronuggets is ingenious! Easy way to educate and build your consumer base. Great Job guys!

[@AcrosstheWavesband]

i read the same concepts about MPLS in Official ICND books and it got me confused!!!! but thanks to Jeremy i now understand it better... Thank you Jeremy

[@cbtnuggets]

Hi Abdul, We currently do not have a full series on MPLS. This video is a MicroNugget, which is one concept by its self. Sometimes they have related series and sometimes they don't. You can subscribe to our entire IT library (thousands of full length Nuggets) for $99/mo.

[@redrover06able]

How is that different than using routing based on IP. Like ospf

[@excel-vba-db-gas-python-de8360]

Keith and Jeremy are my rock stars.

[@cbtnuggets]

Thanks! We are glad you found this MicroNugget beneficial.

[@carlosmendes1783]

Wow, 11 years later but found it really informative!

[@mrpope2224]

Just kept me from studying the whole night. ur awesome.

[@sajid108016]

[@rizvimajid5966]

Iam big FAN of Jerrmy. Great pice of work.

[@mnrqt]

Oh my god, I heard your voice years ago and I still remember! :)

[@shadeofgood]

Very good summary. I thought it was easy and straight to the point with excellent examples. Much better than some of the other KZbin examples.

[@HostDone]

Jeremy, I just want to thank you for great info and videos, I am subscripted in CBT nuggets and just completed my CCNA using your video and sybex book. However, you have great why of explaining and making things easy and hope to met you in classroom one day. Thanks a lot for your effort. going forward to complete my CCNP now using your videos Etc..

[@ritdesh5220]

[@riverasanchez]

Great down to earth explanation of MPLS.

[@StalledAbyss839]

Love how Jeremy explains stuff!

[@brooklynzoo81]

This video and the bgp micro nuggets were both very informative, for someone like me who has heard about them but wasn't too sure what they were about.

[@jamesflorez5867]

Jeremy the best!! please do more!! topics!!

[@cbtnuggets]

Videha, Jeremy is currently working on a Cisco VoIP CCNP Voice CIPT2 course. We have an MPLS Nugget course on our radar but there are no official plans to do it yet.

Really good video with clear explanation. Thanks !

I think ill use this in my presentations. Great lecture

[@ITsupportian]

Yup, I love Jeremy's explanation, especially remember that CaTHOR. Is the cat with a hammer.

Is there any certificate that I get which prof of MPLS?

Again well put together. Thanks!

hello is MPLS a private wan?

Hi jeremy It's been an awesome journey for me going through you CCNA and CCNP videos have been a gr8 help..in my career, cooudl you please udpate if you have video tutorials on MPLS as well including from basic too advanced.. cheers

[@neverhomepnw]

Is this material still up to date?

I wonder to what extend MPLS is beneficial in 2020? Seriously. I am looking to hear opinions from experienced people. Thanks in advance

Glad it was helpful!

[@kapetanios90]

Nice video helped a lot :D

[@montatharhayder]

Thanks for the explanation

[@brilliantfranz]

Brilliant, finally got to understand this.

[@alannicholson174]

Superb Explanation - Thank you Sir!

[@hollisdarby3397]

What program are you drawing on? I've tried MS Paint but it doesn't work near as well as what you are using...

[@Blindingraven]

Thank you CBT Nuggets . Question, though. Does this mean that - since things are labeled before transit, thereby negating the need for inspection; one could feasibly spoof or obfuscate that label and be transmitting something entirely different?

[@PaulMorgan1]

Antonio Candito The step where the packets are labeled would be internal to the ISP's network (assuming proper design of course). The idea with an MPLS backbone is that it's totally transparent from the customer perspective. You put packets in one side and the same packets magically pop out the wire on the other end. So sure you could spoof an MPLS tag, but the MPLS backbone will forward that packet just like it would any other (tag it and forward it along through the backbone).

[@Baez_uptown]

Thank you for this! You explained it very well.

[@nayanparakh007]

sir help me plan my career plan i just completed my ccna r&s and planning for ccnp bt somehow now i wat to go for system opr on aws ..kindly tell me with your experience wat should i go for ? regards nayan

[@Skipp28TN]

Multi protocol label switching. Decreasing do to Sdwan. Unless compliance driven

Bob ross, little tree reference was on point

Congratulations Mansoor! Thanks for the kind words! Let us know how the CCNP exams went.

[@nopy99]

Nice intro to MPLS

[@kelpkelp5252]

So MPLS is an alternative to routing traffic over the internet (via a VPN) ?

[@cbtnuggets]

MPLS allows those remotes sites to be accessible without having dedicated circuits, so there is a cost savings benefit along with reliability.

[@kelpkelp5252]

@@cbtnuggets Ah got it, thanks for the reply!

[@abdulmoeedkhan1988]

How much is the price for this MPLS lecture? If i download or if i watch it online ? Thank you
