To make things worse, catching up involves reading a large number of documents written by various authors at various times in various styles. Here at last is a single, all-encompassing resource where the myriad applications sharpen into a comprehensible text that first explains the whys and whats of each application before going on to the technical detail of the hows.'

'MPLS-Enabled Applications thoroughly covers the MPLS base technology and applications on MPLS-enabled IP networks. It guides you to a comprehensive understanding of standards, problems, and solutions in networking with MPLS. Before it had been necessary to go through material from many different sources, here we have everything in one place. All the MPLS protocols are covered, as are the applications of these protocols. This should be the textbook for MPLS courses, both for training of experienced networking professionals and for universities.'
