Design and deploy high availability IP and MPLS network architectures with this comprehensive guide
Includes a detailed overview of the IP/MPLS forwarding and control plane protocols, including OSPF, IS-IS, LDP, BGP, and RSVP
Analyze fault-tolerant IP/MPLS control plane architectures with the explanations in this book
Develop a clear understanding of various high availability aspects of IP/MPLS networks
Learn how to seamlessly deploy IP/MPLS control plane restart mechanisms
Master the application of fault-tolerant control-plane architecturesin designing and deploying highly reliable and available MPLSapplications, such as traffic engineering, L2VPNs, and L3VPNs
Understand the layered architecture of network-level fault recoverymechanisms, such as optical, SONET, MPLS, and interactions betweendifferent layers
In the wake of increased traffic, today’s service providers andenterprises must assure high availability across a variety of networkedservices and applications. Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) is theenabling technology for the widespread deployment of IP networks incore and Metro Ethernet applications. Many service providers need tomove their legacy Layer 2 and Layer 3 services onto converged MPLS andIP-enabled networks, but high availability is a prerequisite foroffering profitable carrier-class services. Although most carrier-classrouters do provide an adequate level of hardware redundancy,control-plane software is still vulnerable to and, in many cases, thecause of router failures.
Fault-Tolerant IP and MPLS Networks provides you with an in-depthanalysis of the mechanisms that improve the reliability andavailability of IP and MPLS control plane components. The IP/MPLScontrol-plane architecture and all its restart mechanisms are explainedwith examples and deployment considerations.
This explanation of IP/MPLS control-plane architecture begins with aservice view of the network, moves on to the node-level view bypartitioning the network into its constituent network elements, andthen advances to the component-level view to explore various techniquesthat can be used to improve the reliability and availability of eachcomponent. The top-down and example-oriented approach facilitates asolid understanding of the constituent components before moving on tomore advanced MPLS applications involving multiple components.
Fault-Tolerant IP and MPLS Networks is your practical guide forunderstanding, designing, and deploying carrier class IP/MPLS networks.
