MPLS works across various data protocols such as the Internet Protocol (IP), Asynchronous Transport Mode (ATM), and frame relay. MPLS forwards most packets at layer 2 (switching) instead of at layer 3 (routing) level.

Ethernet provides a great local access medum to connect LANs to the Internet and is quickly becoming the access method of choice were it is available.

Digital Subscriber Line Service (DSL) has become a very popular Internet access service. This is because DSL uses the existing copper pairs that already exist between most customer premise offices and the local phone company central office (CO). A DSL connection is set up between a DSL modem at the customer premise and a DSL access multiplexer, or DSLAM, at the phone company central office. Both voice and data can be run across the same DSL connection by using a filter to separate voice traffic from Internet traffic.

You can compare MPLS to Frame Relay and ATM technologies.
