Initially developed to improve switching speed, other benefits are now seen as being more important. (MPLS (1) (MultiProtocol Lambda Switching) The earlier name for GMPLS. See GMPLS. (2) (MultiProtocol Label Switching) A standard from the IETF for including routing information in the packets of an IP network. ) to help organizations cost-effectively and efficiently reap the benefits of wide area networking from their local area networks. The service uses a seamless and standardized standardized pertaining to data that have been submitted to standardization procedures. standardized morbidity rate see morbidity rate. standardized mortality rate see mortality rate. global provisioning platform that appeals to multinational customers that require a consistent look and feel to increase efficiencies and control support costs.
