Synopses & Reviews
Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) is an important mechanism for switching various networking protocols, including the Internet Protocol, across Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) networks. MPLS has evolved from various proprietary protocols, and today has become a true worldwide standard that continues to grow and change with the development of ATM and related Internetworking technologies.
Volume one of the Big Book of MPLS RFCs collects the bulk of published IETF documents relating to MPLS and its predecessor protocols, providing the engineers who build high-speed, high-performance networks and backbones with the most current information available. Subsequent volumes will be devoted to future MPLS RFCs, many of which are already in progress. This book begins with an incisive introduction to Multiprotocol Label Switching, including a look at its likely future directions, as suggested by the most recent efforts of the IETF MPLS working group. The RFCs are followed by an extensive index that lets readers pursue specific topics and terms across multiple documents.
Synopsis
Topics covered in this volume include:
- Requirements for Traffic Engineering over MPLS (RFC 2702)
- BGP/MPLS VPNS (RFC 2547)
- NBMA Next Hop Resolution Protocol (NHRP)
- Classical IP and ARP over ATM (RFC 2225)
- Multiprotocol Encapsulation over ATM Adaptation Layer 5 (RFC 2684)
- A Core MPLS IP VPN Architecture (RFC 2917)
And much more. If you buy only one reference on MPLS, this is the one to choose. Written by members of the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF), this compilation is a complete and authoritative reference on MPLS.
