Building MPLS-Based Broadband Access VPNs, Used [Hardcover]

Master the design and management of MPLS-Based Broadband Access VPNs to maximize client performance Master the use of MPLS in Access VPN and transport networks and learn to deal with the unique scalability problems that such networks pose Learn about large-scale broadband access network design requirements from a real network application perspective Understand the business impact of using MPLS to provide Access VPN services, including the advantages of QoS and availability Several trends are hastening the use of MPLS-based VPNs in Broadband networks, including the need to integrate telecommuters into converged voice, video, and data enterprise networks; the use of MPLS for multi-service transport and IP-VPN; and the rollout of broadband access as an alternative to traditional leased-lines. With this rapid evolution, networking professionals need resources like Building MPLS-Based Broadband Access VPN's from Cisco Press. In order to deploy MPLS successfully in broadband networks, networking professionals must understand why and how today's broadband networks function. the different tunneling protocols used for VPN solutions, and ends with the quality of service-rich needs of the modern Telecommuter. The book discusses MPLS and how its VPN service should be best used in a broadband environment, concentrating on key design issues and solutions, including how to manage tens of thousands of interfaces and host routes and hundreds of dynamic VPNs; why they need to use dynamic address assignment; and how routes should be summarized into the core. The book also includes an in-depth description of the IOS VRF Lite feature. Detailed descriptions of the technology, design principles, network configurations, and real-world case studies are provided throughout the book, helping readers develop a pragmatic understanding of MPLS-based broadband Access VPNs.
