About this title

Synopsis

Advanced MPLS Design and Implementation enables you to:

• Understand MPLS through a detailed analysis of MPLS architecture and operation
• Design and implement packet-based MPLS Virtual Private Networks (VPNs) using label switching routers (LSRs)
• Design and implement ATM-based MPLS VPNs using WAN-switched ATM LSRs
• Implement MPLS traffic engineering on your core network and optimize traffic flows dynamically
• Implement MPLS QoS and provide hard service guarantees with multiple classes of service
• Acquire practical design and implementation knowledge of real-world MPLS VPNs, TE, and QoS through case studies and configuration examples

Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS), intended for internetwork engineers and administrators who are responsible for designing, implementing, and supporting service provider or enterprise MPLS backbone networks, is a highly scalable, high-performance forwarding technology that has multiple applications in the service provider and enterprise environment. Use this book, which contains MPLS theory, design, configuration, and various case studies, as a reference and a guide for designing, implementing, and supporting an MPLS network. Even if you are not using Cisco equipment, this book can increase your awareness and understanding of MPLS technology, as well as provide you with detailed design concepts and rules for building scalable MPLS networks.

About the Author

Vivek Alwayn, CCIE No. 2995, is the chief technology officer of BNETSYS, Inc. (bnetsys), an internetworking company focused on service provider MPLS. He has over 14 years of experience with data communications technologies and protocols. He has designed and implemented numerous large-scale WAN-switched, LAN-switched, and routed networks for service provider and enterprise customers worldwide. Recently, he participated in the architecture and led the implementation of AT&T's MPLS backbone network in South America. This is one of the first successful implementations of BPX WAN switches and LSRs in a production MPLS environment. He holds a B.S. in electronics engineering and is working on his master's degree in telecommunications. Mr. Alwayn is also an active member of the IEEE and IETF.
