MPLS holds the key to network convergence ""Here at last is a single,
all-encompassing resource where the myriad applications sharpen into a
comprehensible text.""Kireeti Kompella, Juniper Fellow, Juniper Networks
""This should be the textbook for MPLS courses, both for training of
experienced networking professionals and for universities.""Loa
Andersson, Acreo AB, IAB-member and IETF MPLS working group co-chair
""MPLS-Enabled Applications is a must-read for anyone involved in
enterprise or service-provider networks.""Dave Cooper, Sr. Manager IP
Engineering, Global Crossing, Ltd. The capability of Multiprotocol Label
Switching (MPLS) to identify traffic based on its label at forwarding
time, coupled with its ability to force traffic down pre-established
paths, has created a whole range of new applications while enabling
scaling of existing applications. To highlight the emerging developments,
Ina Minei and Julian Lucek cover traffic engineering, L3VPNs (Layer 3
Virtual Private Networks), pseudowires, VPLS (Virtual Private LAN
Service), and much more. They methodically illustrate how MPLS holds the
key to network convergence by allowing operators to offer more services
over a single physical infrastructure and how it can reduce the cost of
the network by streamlining operations. With over a hundred illustrations
and thirteen in-depth chapters MPLS-Enabled Applications documents why
MPLS is now considered the networking technology for carrying all types
of network traffic, including voice telephony, real-time video, and the
many types of data traffic.
