Advanced MPLS Design and Implementation: PLS, VNPs, WAN Switching, Traffic Engineering and Quality of Service (CCIE Professional Development)

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

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.
