Product Description
Product Description
A practical guide to understanding, designing, and deploying MPLS and MPLS-enabled VPNs
- In-depth analysis of the Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) architecture
- Detailed discussion of the mechanisms and features that constitute the architecture
- Learn how MPLS scales to support tens of thousands of VPNs
- Extensive case studies guide you through the design and deployment of real-world MPLS/VPN networks
- Configuration examples and guidelines assist in configuring MPLS on Cisco® devices
- Design and implementation options help you build various VPN topologies
Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) is an innovative technique for high-performance packet forwarding. There are many uses for this new technology, both within a service-provider environment and within the enterprise network, and the most widely deployed usage today is the enabling of Virtual Private Networks (VPNs). With the introduction of MPLS-enabled VPNs, network designers are able to better scale their networks than with the methods available in the past.
Network engineers and administrators need quick, effective education on this technology to efficiently deploy MPLS-enabled VPNs within their networks. With that goal in mind, MPLS and VPN Architectures provides an in-depth discussion particular to Cisco's MPLS architecture. This book covers MPLS theory and configuration, network design issues, and case studies as well as one major MPLS application: MPLS-based VPNs. The MPLS/VPN architecture and all its mechanisms are explained with configuration examples, suggested design and deployment guidelines, and extensive case studies.
MPLS and VPN Architectures is your practical guide to understanding, designing, and deploying MPLS and MPLS-based VPNs.

This book is OK, but I'm afraid it's not up to the usual standard I'd expect from Cisco Press. As a CCIE wanting to learn a bit about MPLS (Partly for recertification - it was recently added to the written exam, but I wanted to learn MPLS anyway) I went for this book because it was CCIP level (I.e. on a par with CCNP/CCDP) and should have been a relatively easy read for someone already with a lot of experience.
Unfortunately, it's very heavy going indeed - the book could eaisly have been twice the size, in fact it probably should have been given the amount of ground it's trying to cover. I don't know if this is the fault of the exam (I'm not taking the CCIP) or the book though - if it was twice the size it would be of a similar weight and probably cost to many of the CCIE-level tomes.
As a result of being compressed down into such a short (Still several hundred pages!) book, it is often very confusing - even from the first couple of chapters I was left feeling a little dazed with no clear examples or case studies to back up some of the explanations. In at least one case, it appears the example outputs given from routers are just plain wrong.
Many of the issues explained early in the book did not become clear until much later on, if at all, despite allegedly being fairly "basic" principles of MPLS. Undue importance also seems to be given to concepts not really needed to understand later issues.
Having said that, It's probably worth buying this book if you're into MPLS on Cisco - the other books I've seen are just as bad. MPLS is a new technology and it will be a while until really top-notch books are availble on the topic.
