Product Description
“Here at last is a single, all-encompassing resource where the myriad applications sharpen into a comprehensible text.” Kireeti Kompella, Juniper Fellow, Juniper Networks. The authoritative guide to MPLS, now in its second edition, fully updated with brand new material! 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. In MPLS-Enabled Applications, the Second Edition, the authors 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, though all its major applications. MPLS Enabled-Applications, Second Edition, contains comprehensive up-to-date coverage of: - the current status and the future potential of all major MPLS applications, including L3VPNs (Layer 3 Virtual Private Networks), L2VPNs (Layer 2 Virtual Private Networks), pseudowires and VPLS . (Virtual Private LAN Service).
- extensive discussion of multicast support over MPLS, including a new chapter dedicated to multicast in VPNs, explaining both the PIM/GRE (Protocol Independent Multicast / Generic Routing Encapsulation) and the next generation BGP/MPLS solutions, new material on support of multicast in VPLS, a much-expanded chapter on MPLS multicast and a section perations and management (OAM) tools for point-to-multipoint LSPs.
- a new chapter on MPLS in access networks, as well as coverage of the use of MPLS in mobile and data communication networks.
- interoperation of LDP(Label Distribution Protocol) and BGP (Border Gateway Protocol) based VPLS.
- comprehensive coverage of the base technology, as well as the latest IETF drafts

Want all of MPLS in one book, delivered direct? August 22, 2008
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
This book is the most complete MPLS book written. All of the content contained in multiple Cisco-press volumes are in this book. It is concise and to the point. Although the authors are Juniper elite engineers, this book is about MPLS and not about Cisco or Juniper.
If you don't have time to gain the same material by reading three 400 page
books, this book is for you. The same material is covered. Just remember
MSDOS.... When it had 60 commands Sybex books came out with a 600 page MSDOS
book!! This is the direct opposite. It is concise and to the point. No Fluff, editorials, opinions, just the facts! The first edition is excellent. The second edition brings you right up to date with the latest in standards, and I think it is near a first where a book has attempted to keep up with the RFC drafts. Normally you need to read a book on the evolving technology, then refer to RFC's for the latest updates. (Some of us early adopters have to use the RFC's. However here is your chance to get the most up to date, complete MPLS material without reading the RFC's and drafts. It is all in here.
As an example, Interdomain Multicast in MPLS has changed. Two new BGP Extended communities have been added to BGP4 to support it. It is
based on the Rosen Draft [MVPN], but is significantly different enough that it is being called [NG-MVPN], or Next Generation Multicast VPN.
Those looking to migrate their service provider multicast to SSM, eliminating RP's, and providing greater expandability via NG-Mcast it is in this book (and they cover how it is different than Rosen-Draft) in a very clear fashion.
It is just a well written book, and owning a huge library of very many
technology books, it is indeed rare that a "Well written" book comes along that just delivers material. This is my new MPLS bible, just as everyone has a copy of the "BGP bible" from Cisco Press, and TCP/IP by Jeff Doyle. We technologists voted these books the bibles by sales volume alone. I can not make a stronger recommendation. Excellent!
