[...]... Private LAN Services (VPLS) There are two recent MPLS MPLS-Enabled Applications: Emerging Developments and New Technologies © 2005 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd Ina Minei and Julian Lucek xvi FOREWORD developments deserving of mention here, the first being the work on point-to-multipoint Label Switched Paths (P2MP LSPs), which is expected to be used for applications such as video distribution, IP multicast... work on extending constraint-based routing, including applications such as traffic engineering, fast reroute and Differentiated Services Traffic Engineering to multiple OSPF/IS-IS areas and even multiple autonomous systems It is important to keep in mind that in all of the applications mentioned above MPLS is just one of the components of such applications, albeit a critical one If we look back at... revenue-generating services There is rapid deployment of MPLS-enabled services and active development of new mechanisms and applications for MPLS in the standards bodies This book aims to describe the fundamental mechanisms used by MPLS and the main service types that MPLS enables, such as Virtual Private Networks (VPNs) We include descriptions of new applications of MPLS that are currently under development... in the ATM control plane Not long after it started, MPLS usage was extended to applications such as Circuit Cross Connect (CCC), ATM and Frame Relay service over an IP/MPLS infrastructure (draft-martini), and BGP/MPLS VPNs (2547 VPNs) The original constraint-based routing functionality evolved beyond traffic engineering to applications such as fast reroute and Differentiated Services Traffic Engineering... we both happen to work for the same router vendor, the book is not vendor-specific Occasionally we point out some vendorspecific quirks, if they are relevant to the discussion at hand or aid in MPLS-Enabled Applications: Emerging Developments and New Technologies © 2005 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd Ina Minei and Julian Lucek xx PREFACE understanding any particular topic Many of the topics discussed are still... like to thank our following colleagues: Pedro Marques, for his thorough review of almost all chapters, for many technical discussions and for contributing the analysis of VPN scaling and RR scaling MPLS-Enabled Applications: Emerging Developments and New Technologies © 2005 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd Ina Minei and Julian Lucek xxiv ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Arthi Ayyangar, for her insight on all topics RSVP and TE-related,... ultrahigh-speed data transmission and processing He has a Master’s degree in Physics from Cambridge University and holds Juniper Networks Certified Internet Expert (JNCIE) certification number 21 MPLS-Enabled Applications: Emerging Developments and New Technologies © 2005 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd Ina Minei and Julian Lucek Foreword Yakov Rekhter, Juniper Fellow, Juniper Networks, June 2005 Multi-Protocol... (ccamp) Part of the original MPLS problem statement [MPLS97] from the first MPLS working group meeting is shown below It contains four items that the group aimed to address through the development of MPLS-Enabled Applications: Emerging Developments and New Technologies Ina Minei and Julian Lucek © 2005 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd 4 FOUNDATIONS MPLS It is interesting to examine these to see which items are still... MPLS the market made its judgment loud and clear – MPLS is here to stay Preface Our aim in writing this book was to describe the latest developments in MPLS The field is moving so fast that some new applications of MPLS have already been deployed in production networks, yet are not described anywhere in book form In many cases, the only available resources are the IETF drafts which list the extensions...
