Networks And Services: Carrier Ethernet, PBT, MPLS-TP, And VPLS

Networks and Services: Carrier Ethernet, PBT, MPLS-TP, and VPLS

This book provides a comprehensive understanding of current anddebated future networking technologies. It gives insight intobuilding end-to-end networks and services with Carrier Ethernet,PBT, MPLS-TP, and VPLS while also shedding light on the pros andcons of these technologies for service providers and enterprisenetwork owners.

Focusing on layer-2 networking and services, Networks andServices covers:

• The basics of Ethernet such as protocol stack, bridges,switches, and hubs
• Key techniques that are being in building carrier-classCarrier Ethernet networks and services like synchronization,pseudowires, and protection
• Carrier Ethernet network architectures and services that arecurrently deployed in the industry
• Traffic management and OAM capabilities of CarrierEthernet
• Circuit Emulation Services
• PBB and PBT to resolve possible scalability issues of CarrierEthernet
• Technologies that are competing or working with CarrierEthernet in forming data networks and services, Transport MPLS,MPLS Transport Profile, and VPLS

Networks and Services: Carrier Ethernet, PBT, MPLS-TP, andVPLS is ideal for network architects, engineers, and planningprofessionals in telecommunications, as well as students andresearchers in related disciplines.
