SHORT DESCRIPTION: Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) is a data plane and control technology used in the package (ie Internet Protocol) network. The proposed book is-best-best collection of existing content from several books MK has been published in recent years on MPLS technology (multi-protocol label switching). Individual chapters on MPLS technology comes from several books MK and combined in one new volume in a way that makes sense as a reference book for those interested in new aspects and development of this technology, namely the network operators and designers who need to determine aspects of their network would benefit from MPLS technology and applications. Suitable and current content to be gathered from the following titles: Evans, Deploying IP and MPLS QoS (2006); Farrel, GMPLS (2005); Ash, Traffic Engineering (2006); Vasseur, Network Recovery (2005); Farrell, Internet and Its Protocol (2004); Nadeau, MPLS Management (2003); and Davie, MPLS Technology and Applications (2000). * Coverage of major applications of MPLS such as traffic engineering, VPN, IP integration, GMPLS, and QoS written by experts in their field to contribute to your practical knowledge of key technologies * Shows you how to implement various MPLS applications that will result in your organization save time and money * Shows you how you can evaluate MPLS applications and techniques in conjunction with one another so that you can develop an optimal network design
