Mpls and VPN Architectures, Volume II (Hardcover)

Mpls and VPN Architectures, Volume II Book Description

Master advanced MPLS VPN deployment solutions to design, deploy, and troubleshoot advanced or large-scale networks Builds on best-selling success of first volume with more advanced features to get more out of your network Improve network efficiency with MPLS data routing techniques like Traffic Engineering (TE) and Any Transport over MPLS (AToM) Learn new PE-CE routing techniques and per-VPN Network Address Translation (PE-NAT) features to build advanced virtual private networks as your remote employee base increases

"MPLS and VPN Architectures," Volume II builds on the best-selling MPLS and VPN Architectures, Volume I (1587050021) from Cisco Press. Extending into more advanced topics and deployment architectures, Volume II provides readers with the necessary tools they need to deploy and maintain a secure, highly available Virtual Private Network (VPN).

These VPNs serve a greater role in networks as the number of remote employees increase, building on the demand for access to company networks with the same level of quality and speed delivered in an office setting. Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) is the key to successful VPNs. With coverage of a variety of advanced features, like traffic engineering (TE) that improves network data transfer efficiency by prioritizing the more important data flows on a network, "MPLS and VPN Architectures," Volume II teaches the value, usage, and impact of a variety of advanced techniques on a network. Other features like Quality of Service, Any Transport over MPLS (AToM), and the new PE-CE routing options make this a valuable guide to enhancing any VPN to bring the greatest efficiency, quality and security available.

Master the latest MPLS VPN solutions to design, deploy, and troubleshoot advanced or large-scale networks

With MPLS and VPN Architectures, Volume II, you'll learn: How to integrate various remote access technologies into the backbone providing VPN service to many different types of customers The new PE-CE routing options as well as other advanced features, including per-VPN Network Address Translation (PE-NAT) How VRFs can be extended into a customer site to provide separation inside the customer network The latest MPLS VPN security features and designs aimed at protecting the MPLS VPN backbone How to carry customer multicast traffic inside a VPN The latest inter-carrier enhancements to allow for easier and more scalable deployment of inter-carrier MPLS VPN services Advanced troubleshooting techniques including router outputs to ensure high availability

"MPLS and VPN Architectures, Volume II," builds on the best-selling MPLS and VPN Architectures, Volume I (1-58705-002-1), from Cisco Press. Extending into more advanced topics and deployment architectures, Volume II provides readers with the necessary tools they need to deploy and maintain a secure, highly available VPN.

"MPLS and VPN Architectures, Volume II," begins with a brief refresher of the MPLS VPN Architecture. Part II describes advanced MPLS VPN connectivity including the integration of service provider access technologies (dial, DSL, cable, Ethernet) and a variety of routing protocols (IS-IS, EIGRP, and OSPF), arming the reader with the knowledge of how to integrate these features into the VPN backbone. Part III details advanced deployment issues including security, outlining the necessary steps the serviceprovider must take to protect the backbone and any attached VPN sites, and also detailing the latest security features to allow more advanced topologies and filtering. This part also covers multi-carrier MPLS VPN deployments. Finally, Part IV provides a methodology for advanced MPLS VPN troubleshooting.

"MPLS and VPN Architectures, Volume II," also introduces the latest advances in customer integration, security, and troubleshooting features essential to providing the advanced services based on MPLS VPN technology in a secure and scalable way.

This book is part of the Networking Technology Series from Cisco Press(r), which offers networking professionals valuable information for constructing efficient networks, understanding new technologies, and building successful careers.
