‘As MPLS has grown in popularity, most books on the subject have concentrated

on explaining the basics, or illustrating how the core function can be successfully

deployed. Minei and Lucek, however, have taken the subject on to the next level.

They explain the new and significant developments in MPLS showing how the

technology has come of age and how it will be used to build advanced services in

complex, interconnected networks. This book provides an important tutorial on

the recent advances in MPLS, and brings together many of the threads from the

IETF to provide a comprehensive overview of the next generation of MPLS

networking.’

Adrian Farrel, Old Dog Consulting Ltd., IETF CCAMP and PCE working groups

co-chair

‘While MPLS is in itself simple, its apparent complexity lies in the proliferation of

applications, which shows no signs of ceasing. To make things worse, catching up

involves reading a large number of documents written by various authors at various

times in various styles. Here at last is a single, all-encompassing resource where the

myriad applications sharpen into a comprehensible text that first explains the whys

and whats of each application before going on to the technical detail of the hows.’

Kireeti Kompella, Juniper Fellow, Juniper Networks .

‘ MPLS-Enabled Applications thoroughly covers the MPLS base technology and

applications on MPLS-enabled IP networks. It guides you to a comprehensive

understanding of standards, problems, and solutions in networking with MPLS.

Before it had been necessary to go through material from many different sources,

here we have everything in one place. All the MPLS protocols are covered, as are

the applications of these protocols. This should be the textbook for MPLS

courses, both for training of experienced networking professionals and for

universities.’

Loa Andersson, Acreo AB, IAB-member and IETF MPLS working group co-chair

‘This is the MPLS text that the industry has been waiting for. On one hand, the text

presents MPLS technology clearly enough that the reader can absorb its content in a

few easy sittings. On the other hand, the text provides a sufficiently in depth

treatment that even an MPLS expert can learn from it. The authors offer a clear and

complete description of MPLS, its inner workings and its applications, in a manner

that could only be achieved by persons who have been significant contributors to

the MPLS development effort. Every network operator who has deployed or is

considering the deployment of MPLS technology should read this book. It is appro-

priate reading for everyone from the CTO to the tier 1 NOC engineer.’

Ron Bonica, Engineer, Juniper Networks, IETF L3 VPN working group co-chair

‘My first impression after reading a few selected chapters of MPLS-Enabled

Applications has been very good. It attempts to describe a number of modern tech-

niques to address today’s customer requirements. It should be a good reference

for network operators who face significant challenges to keep up to date with

latest developments of new and emerging networking services.’

Robert Raszuk, Technical Leader, Routing Protocols Deployment and Architecture, Cisco

Systems

‘ MPLS-Enabled Applications provides an excellent review of the fundamentals and

key applications of the MPLS suite of protocols. Its balanced mix of both the

technical and business motivations for using these applications make it a must-

read for anyone involved in enterprise or service-provider networks.’

Dave Cooper, Sr. Manager IP Engineering, Global Crossing, Ltd .

‘This is a highly recommended book for those wanting to update themselves with

the latest MPLS developments, or those just wanting to learn this technology

thoroughly. In addition to the impressive technology coverage and depth, the

book is also a delightful reading!’

Lei Wang, IP Network Architect, Telenor

‘ MPLS-Enabled Applications is an excellent read for network engineers involved in

the design of MPLS networks and services. It can serve as an introduction to

MPLS networking or as a reference book for the advanced engineer. It discusses

practical issues that must be considered in the design of MPLS networks and

services, including MPLS-TE, MPLS-IPVPNs and MPLS L2 VPNs. It also

discusses current topics that are still evolving in the industry such as inter-

AS/area MPLS-TE, point-to-multipoint LSPs and IPVPN multicast, providing a

good overview of the issues being addressed and the current industry direction.’

Nabil N. Bitar, Principal member of Technical Staff and lead network architect, Verizon

‘ MPLS Enabled Applications presents the current state of the art in the specification,

development, and application of MPLS and its related technologies. I believe, the

readers will find the book to be a very valuable resource.’

Bijan Jabbari, PhD, Founder of Isocore, and Professor of Electrical Engineering, George

Mason University

‘Too few people have the scarce skill for clearly explaining things. Fewer still

have a clear understanding of the MPLS protocol and architectures. Minei and

Lucek seem to have them both.’

Dr. Eyal Felstaine, senior staff member, Ben Gurion University, Israel

‘This book provides an excellent overview of MPLS mechanisms and applications.

It allows understanding what we can do today and what we will be able to do

tomorrow with MPLS, as it covers not only stable and deployed technologies

such as MPLS Fast Reroute, L3 VPNs, L2 VPN, but also new technologies under

development within the IETF, such as IP/LDP Fast Reroute, inter-domain Traffic

Engineering and Point-To-Multipoint MPLS. Hence this book will be highly

useful for network designers, operators, students as well as anyone interested

with the MPLS architecture.’

Jean-Louis Le Roux, Senior MPLS architect, France Telecom
