Ghein, an escalation engineer for Cisco in EMEA, explains the principles and theory behind the multiprotocol label switching (MPLS) networking technology that uses labels attached to packets to forward them through a network. Intended for network engineers familiar with IP routing, the book describes the complete architecture of MPLS VPN, how traffic engineering is implemented with MPLS, how the IPv6 protocol can be transported across an MPLS backbone network, and how the MPLS network can transport Layer 2 services.

A comprehensive introduction to all facets of MPLS theory and practice Helps networking professionals choose the suitable MPLS application and design for their network Provides MPLS theory and relates to basic IOS configuration examples The Fundamentals Series from Cisco Press launches the basis to readers for understanding the purpose, application, and management of technologies MPLS has emerged as the new networking layer for service providers throughout the world. For many service providers and enterprises MPLS is a way of delivering new applications on their IP networks, while consolidating data and voice networks. MPLS has grown to be the new default network layer for service providers and is finding its way into enterprise networks as well. This book focuses on the building blocks of MPLS (architecture, forwarding packets, LDP, MPLS and QoS, CEF, etc.). This book also reviews the different MPLS applications (MPLS VPN, MPLS Traffic Engineering, Carrying IPv6 over MPLS, AToM, VPLS, MPLS OAMetc.).You will get a comprehensive overview of all the aspects of MPLS, including the building blocks, its applications, troubleshooting and a perspective on the future of MPLS.
