DESCRIPTION:
Good Coverage, Easy Read, Sloppy Editing I read the entire book over the course of a weeklong vacationmostly on the airplane. It's relatively easy to digest, and can be covered quite quickly.First, a few minor critiques: the book seemed rushed to print, possibly because of the new technology and publishing race to get books out. Addison Wesley typically publishes excellent quality books. There were grammatical and spelling errors, and a few diagram errors. Other than that, the book is clearly written. My other critique is when Black chooses to just block-quote large sections of the RFCs, instead of spending some time exploring t. Good Book, Bad Editing Engineer Guy I read the whole book. I found it to be a good introduction to MPLS and Tag switching concepts. It does not go into extreme detail so it probably is not a good reference for someone building MPLS into a product. Unfortunately, the editing seems a bit rushed. I found problems with descriptions and diagrams in almost every chapter. I am not talking about picky grammatical errors but actual problems in the text and/or the diagrams that would be confusing or just didn't match with what I have learned from other sources. I personally recommend the Davie and Rekhter MPLS book as an in depth int. Vishal Sinha said Horrible book. As an implementer of MPLS, I have been keeping track on MPLS development since its inception. Few days back, I was in B&N and saw this book lying on a table. It took me 15 minutes to realize that this book is a totally useless. I would instead suggest MPLS by Yakov Rekhter for beginners.
MPLS and Label Switching Networks takes an implementation-neutral approach to explaining MPLS and its applications, enabling readers to better evaluate and interact with MPLS-enabled products. Because of its ability to significantly reduce the load placed on routers as they direct data packets to their destinations, Multi-Protocol Label Switching (MPLS) has great potential as the Internet--as well as the private wide area networks (WANs) for which it was originally designed--continues to expand. Author Uyless Black--known and generally respected for his work on IP networks and the transmission of voice over them--assumes that you have a working knowledge of IP and WAN concepts, but no particular familiarity w
MPLS and Label-Switching Networks, Second Edition is the authoritative resource for planning, implementing, and succeeding with MPLS technologies. Black covers MPLS in ATM, frame relay, IPv4, IPv6, and VPN environments; RSVP-TE and CR-LDP traffic engineering; QoS; and even the new GMPLS standard for optical networks.. Renowned consultant Uyless Black illuminates the final, official MPLS standard through practical examples and detailed diagrams, offering detailed guidance on maximizing network reliability, utilization, and performance
