Comparison Table: MPS vs LEASED LINE

Below table describes the difference between MPLS and Leased Line:

PARAMETER	MPLS	LEASED LINE
Segregation of customer traffic	Logical separation of customer traffic.	Physical separation of customer traffic
Connectivity Type	Multipoint or point-to-Point	Point-to-Point
Security	High level by logical separation of traffic	Most secured due to physical separation of traffic
Skill Requirement	Highly skilled resources at Provider/customer end for deployment of MPLS	Less skilled resources required for setup of Leased links.
Bandwidth	High	High
Spoke to Spoke communication	Remote site needs to traverse vis Hub site to reach other remote site	Direct any to any communication from one Spoke to other
CAPEX and OPEX	Usually lower cost than P2P Leased links	Higher than MPLS Links
Physical medium	Shared across multiple customers	Dedicated to customer
Performance	Improved performance especially when Spoke to Spoke communication	Low performance in Spoke to Spoke communication since HUB incurs additional hop which is not the case in MPLS
Routing decision	Service provider is involved in Layer 3 Routing of the customer traffic	Service provider does not involve in Routing decision of customer traffic.
QOS	Service provider QOS for prioritization of delay sensitive and mission critical traffic.	Partially or no QoS
Traffic Engineering	In MPLS it is possible to set the path that the traffic will have to take through the network.	Not possible in case of Leased links.
Scalability	MPLS is as an efficient technology that is easily scaled.	Leased lines are the most difficult to scale, both because of the time needed for deployment and the expense.
Recommended for	·Large enterprise with a requirement for secure and private network ·Have multiple sites spread across a large area. ·Fast growing organization with inorganic growth of sites	·Require guaranteed bandwidth ·Need to transfer large data reliably and fast between sites
