Product Description
Review
"This is a strong author team and they have produced a much-needed and timely book" --Bruce Davie, Cisco Fellow "GMPLS technology provides a keystone for next generation integrated optical networks, and this book is the one-stop reference on the subject." --Kireeti Kompella, Juniper Networks and CCAMP working group co-chair
Product Description
The last two years have seen significant developments in the standardization of GMPLS and its implementation in optical and other networks. "GMPLS: Architecture and Applications" brings you completely up to date, providing the practical information you need to put the growing set of GMPLS-supported services to work and manage them effectively. This book begins by defining GMPLS' place in a transport network, leveraging your knowledge of MPLS to give you an understanding of this radically new control plane technology. An overview of GMPLS protocols follows, but the real focus is on what comes afterwards: in-depth examinations of the architectures underpinning GMPLS in real-world network environments and current and emerging GMPLS applications. This one-of-a-kind resource delivers immensely useful information for software architects, designers and programmers, hardware developers, system testers, and network operators - and also for managers and other decision-makers. Written by two industry researchers at the forefront of the development of GMPLS; this work: provides a practical look at GMPLS protocols for signaling, routing, link and resource management, and traffic engineering; delves deep into the world of GMPLS applications, including traffic engineering, path computation, layer one VPNs, point-to-multipoint connectivity, service management, and resource protection; explores three distinct GMPLS control plane architectures: peer, overlay, and hybrid, and explains the GMPLS UNI and NNIs; and, explains how provisioning challenges can be met in multi-region networks and details the provisioning systems and tools relied on by the GMPLS control plane, along with the standard MIB modules used to manage a GMPLS system.

Great review of GMPLS
12 Dec 2009
Format:Paperback
I give this book 4 out of 5 stars because of its age. 2006, and its nearly 2010. With advancement in this protocol and the advent of GMPLS/GELS for ethernet control plane for Carrier Ethernet this books screams for a 2nd edition (even if in PDF format only). And perhaps a chapter giving a run down of GMPLS implementations by major vendors. Both those that supply network nodes and a control server, and those that build the control plane server only (like Soap Stone until Extreme Networks bought them).

A must-read on GMPLS
10 Dec 2007
Format:Paperback
A comprehensive book providing clear and detailed view on all the aspects of GMPLS and related protocols. Instead of of reading a bunch of rfc(s) start reading this book first and let rfc(s) for a second step. You will get the whole picture well explained in all its components and relations.
Really well written and easy to follow with all the concepts explained in a simple but precise way.

Provides good understanding of GMPLS

I've been doing research in control planes for transport networks and needed to learn about GMPLS. This book does a very good job at explaining what GMPLS is, the set of protocols it involves and how each one works, including sequence diagrams for some of less known ones (to me) such as LMP. There are enough network diagrams associated with examples to give you a clear picture of what's going on. I would recommend this book to anyone interested in learning about GMPLS. If more in-depth information is required, you can always go look at the RFCs.
