MPLS vs LEASED LINE
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 |
