Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
A detailed analysis and practical guide to Multiprotocol Label Switching, MPLS: Technology and Applications does a good job of explaining why you'd want to deploy MPLS on your network before giving you the details on how to go about the task. The authors, two senior Cisco Systems engineers who are directly involved in the development of MPLS standards and equipment, explain the problems inherent in providing IP routing service over Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) links and show how MPLS does its job. They also, helpfully, discuss emerging ways of providing Virtual Private Network (VPN) services with MPLS. Throughout, the focus is on minimising network traffic, optimising routing, and generally using the MPLS toolkit to solve otherwise difficult networking problems. This is a book about traffic engineering as much as any specific technology.

Coverage suffers a bit from a shortage of flow charts, state diagrams, and conceptual drawings. Readers are expected to decode some very long, very dense passages of text without assistance. On the other hand, they are also assumed to know relatively little. MPLS concepts that are probably new to most readers are explained carefully and connected to more familiar internetworking terms and concepts. This book deals with MPLS comprehensively, adequately preparing the network administrator to implement better traffic management. --David Wall, Amazon.com
Topics covered:Multiprotocol Label Switching, treated comprehensively, both IP switching and tag switching approaches to label switching, and the Label Distribution Protocol (LDP). Quality of Service (QoS) and Virtual Private Network (VPN) coverage give the book some practical flavour.
Review
" Written by two of the foremost experts on the subject who illustrate concepts with practical examples of their application. The most authoritative text on MPLS. Highly Recommended! -Daniel Awduche Distinguished Technical Member UUNET (MCI Worldcom) At last a comprehensive presentation of MPLS reflecting its development and usage, this book is a MUST for any Network Engineering Manager contemplating the deployment of MPLS. —Monique Jeanne Morrow, IP Engineering Manager, Swisscom AG Davie and Rekhter provide a detailed and unbiased chronology of the evolution of MPLS. Their scientific approach to decomposing various protocols into their fundamental elements is interwoven with a more pragmatic compilation of diagrams, typical networking scenarios, and applications. Provides a solid knowledge base for researchers and operators dedicated to MPLS and its future. —Eric Dean, Senior Director, Internetwork Engineering, Global One
