MPLS in the SDN Era | Antonio Sanchez-Monge, Krzysztof Grzegor Szarkowicz

The evolution of Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) technologies and applications has been so rapid in the past couple of years that new perspectives and discussions are sorely needed. This practical book takes you from basic MPLS concepts to new applications, such SDN, Mobile Backhaul, Datacenter Interconnection, and state-of-the-art technologies such as Segment Routing. Real working networks today are multivendor collections of devices and, soon, software. But network engineers struggle to make them work, because there's no documentation on making different vendor equipment run together in a complex network. With this book, you'll learn how to use MPLS as an enabler of new networking demands. This book is thoroughly up to date and will be for the next 3 years.
