The only design guide covering key MPLS technologies: MPLS VPNs,
Pseudowires, QoS, Traffic Engineering, network recovery, IPv6, multicast
l The definitive design guide for key MPLS technologies
l Benefit from the authors' vast experience in MPLS network
deployment and protocol design
l Understand technology applications in various service provider and
enterprise topologies
l Visualize real-world solutions and production network best practices
through clear, detailed design studies
Service providers can turn to numerous sources that describe technologies
used in MPLS networks, such as QoS, Traffic Engineering (TE), and VPN;
however there is no single resource that illustrates how to actually design a
network that benefits from the latest technologies, and combines them
optimally for a specific environment. Definitive MPLS Network Designs
fills this void by providing a series of design studies showing how to
combine key techniques and technologies at the heart of IP/MPLS networks
in line with real-life network best practices.
The book starts with a technology refresher for each of the technologies
covered in the design studies, including VPNs, TE, QoS, multicast,
Pseudowires, network recovery, and IPv6. Following this overview are
detailed design studies, each based on a set of characteristics and objectives
common to a profile of networks deploying MPLS. The book contains a
design study for an Inter-eXchange Carrier (IXC), a national telco, a Global
Service Provider, and an enterprise. The authors develop each design study
in a consistent manner, starting with a description of the network
environment and supported services. They then identify the objectives that
influenced the design. Each study then details all aspects of the network
design using the latest MPLS technologies. Finally, a number of lessons to
be drawn from the design study are pointed out, allowing readers to apply
the solutions that meet their needs.
