MPLS FundamentalsA Comprehensive Introduction to MPLS Theory and PracticeLuc De Ghein, CCIE® No. 1897MPLS Fundamentals provides you with a comprehensive introduction to Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS). MPLS is the means for an IP network to consolidate the ATM, Frame Relay, voice, and IP networks into one unified network infrastructure. It enables the network to carry all types of traffic, ranging from IP traffic to voice-over-IP (VoIP) traffic to Layer 2 traffic.You will quickly learn how MPLS works and review the applications that MPLS provides, including MPLS virtual private network (VPN), MPLS traffic engineering (TE), Any Transport over MPLS (AToM), and Virtual Private LAN Service (VPLS).The theory is accompanied by many configuration examples detailing how to implement and troubleshoot MPLS and its applications in the Cisco® IOS® software. When you have finished reading this book, you will have a comprehensive working knowledge of MPLS so you can begin exploring the world of MPLS on routers and switches that are running Cisco IOS software.The book is divided into two parts. Part I discusses how MPLS came about and explains its fundamentals. Part II covers MPLS applications, quality of service (QoS), and troubleshooting. To dive even deeper into some topics, supplemental material, including an appendix about static MPLS labels, is available on the Cisco Press website.Luc De Ghein, CCIE® No. 1897, is an escalation engineer for Cisco in EMEA. Luc has been in the networking industry for 13 years and has been with Cisco for more than 11 years. He provides escalation support to Cisco engineers worldwide and teaches others about IP routing protocols and MPLS technologies. Luc has been a speaker at several Networkers conferences. During the past seven years, Luc has specialized in the area of MPLS technologies. Since 1996, Luc has been a CCIE, certified in both Routing and Switching and Service Provider.Introduces all facets of MPLS Covers IPv6 over MPLS, operation and maintenance of MPLS networks, MPLS VPNs, MPLS traffic engineering, AToM, VPLS, and MPLS and QoS Provides MPLS theory and relates this theory to basic Cisco IOS configuration examples Helps networking professionals choose the suitable MPLS application and design for their networkOnline ResourcesCisco Press provides additional content that you can access by registering your individual book at ciscopress.com.
