Mpls-Enabled Applications - Emerging Developments and New Technologies

From the fundamental principles of MPLS (the operation of signaling protocols and the way in which MPLS packets are constructed and forwarded), the book logically progresses through to current hot research topics such as diffserv-aware traffic engineering and QoS, Inter-region LSPs, point-to-multipoint MPLS and fast reroute.
