This book appears to contain everything you could possibly want to know about Multi-Protocol Label Switching (MPLS) operations, signaling and management, excepting perhaps the individual bits in packet and label headers. There is so much here that it’s a good place to start a major study of the topic. Master this book and nobody will be able to bluff you when the talk turns techy.
Densely written, this volume evenly balances the theory with the practice. The first half gets deep into the technical details, from the physical construction of fibers and couplers to the light signaling formats and and data frames that carry information. The second half looks at the practical aspects, with a thorough chapter on computing the power budget and optimal input power for an optical link.
Not long ago the title of this book might not have made much sense. Now with WLANs practically everywhere, the tide of VoIP couldn’t avoid the Wi-Fi connection. If your wired network will be dealing with VoIP you’ll eventually see that traffic on the air, too.
