MPLS-Enabled Applications: Emerging Developments and New Technologies: New Developments and New Technologies (Wiley Series in Communications Networking & Distributed Systems) - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

"Here at last is a single all-encompassing resource here the myriad applications sharpen into a comprehensible text." - Kireeti Kompella
 
The authoritative guide to MPLS, in a fully updated Second Edition!
 
Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) is now considered the networking technology for carrying all types of network traffic, including voice telephony, real-time video, and data traffic. MPLS-Enabled Applications methodically show how MPLS holds the key to network convergence by allowing operators to offer more services over a single physical infrastructure. The Second Edition contains more than 150 illustrations, new chapters, and more coverage, guiding the reader from the basics of the technology, including signaling protocols, traffic engineering and fast reroute, through all its major applications.
 
MPLS-Enabled Applications will provide those involved in the design and deployment of MPLS networks, as well as those researching the area of MPLS, with a thoroughly modern view of how MPLS is transforming the networking world.
 
"This book allows understanding what we can do today and what we will be able to do tomorrow with MPLS, as it covers not only stable and deployed technologies, but also new ones under development within the IETF." - Jean-Louis Le Roux
 
"This should be the textbook for MPLS courses, both for training of experienced networking professionals and for universities." - Loa Andersson
 
MPLS-Enabled Applications contains up-to-date coverage of:
* the current status and the future potential of all major MPLS applications, including L3VNs, L2VPNs, pseudowires and VPLS.
* extensive discussion of multicast support over MPLS, including a new chapter on multicast in VPNs showing both the PIM/GRE and the next-generation BGP/MPLS solutions new material on VPLS multicast and a section on OAM tools for P2MP LSPs.
* a new chapter on MPLS in access networks, as well as coverage of the use of MPLS in mobile and data communication networks.
* detailed discussion of how to interoperate LDP and BGP based VPLS.
* comprehensive coverage of the base technology, as well as the latest IETF drafts,including topics such as P2MP LSPs, Diffserv-aware and inter-domain TE, IPv6 VPNs and MPLS OAM tools.
