Field-proven MPLS designs covering MPLS VPNs, pseudowire, QoS, traffic engineering, IPv6, network recovery, and multicast Understand technology applications in various service provider and enterprise topologies via detailed design studies Benefit from the authors? vast experience in MPLS network deployment and protocol design Visualize real-world solutions through clear, detailed illustrations of research design includes various operator profiles including interexchange carrier (IXC), a national telecommunications company running a multiservice backbone carrying Internet and IP VPN services as well as national telephone ago Cross, an international service provider with many POPs around the world, and a large company relies Layer-3 VPN services to control communications within and across children design research thoroughly explained through detailed text, sample configurations, and network diagrams Definitive MPLS Network Designs provides examples of how to combine key technologies at the heart of IP / MPLS network. Each study design based on the characteristics and common purpose for the profile given MPLS network operators have used and discuss all aspects of the design accordingly. The book begins with a technology refresher for each technology involved in the study design. The chapters conclude with a summary of the lessons that can be drawn from the study design so that all types of service providers and large enterprise MPLS architects can adapt aspects of design solutions to their unique network environment and objectives. Although network architects have many resources to find information about the concepts and protocols involved with MPLS, there is no single resource that illustrates how to design a network that optimizes benefits for a particular operating environment. Definitive MPLS Network Designs fills this void. This book coming? as a boon for professionals who want to understand the power of MPLS and fully utilize it.? -Parantap Lahiri, Manager, IP Network Infrastructure Engineering, MCI Includes FREE Online Edition 45 Days This book is part of the Networking Technology Series from Cisco Press, which offers networking professionals valuable information to build efficient networks, understanding new technologies, and build a successful career.
