Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) is now a widely deployed technology, which addresses a variety of issues, including traffic engineering, Quality of Service, Virtual Private Networks, and IP/ATM integration. MPLS: Technology and Applications is the first book that provides a detailed analysis of the architecture, protocols, and application of MPLS.

Written by experts who personally authored key parts of the standard, this book will enable network operators and designers to determine which aspects of networks would benefit from MPLS. It is also a definitive reference for engineers implementing MPLS-based products.

* Covers major applications of MPLS: traffic engineering, VPNs, IP/ATM integration, and QoS
* Describes all the major protocols that comprise MPLS, including LDP, RSVP, and CR-LDP
* Goes beyond the RFCs to explain how and why key design decisions were made
* Provides a complete discussion of constraint-based routing

Bruce Davie works at Cisco Systems, Inc., where he is a Cisco Fellow. He leads a group working on the development of MPLS and QoS capabilities for IP networks. He is the author of numerous journal articles and RFCs and two prior books on computer networks. Yakov Rekhter also works at Cisco Systems, Inc., where he is a Cisco Fellow. He is one of the leading designers of Tag Switching, BGP/MPLS VPNs, and MPLS traffic engineering. He is also one of the leading designers of Border Gateway Protocol (BGP). He is the author of many RFCs, as well as numerous presentations and articles on TCP/IP and the Internet.
