[c-nsp] IP/MPLS Design Resource

[Andy Saykao]

Hi Junaid,

Welcome to the world of MPLS. I'm currently going through the same thing
and have been designing and fine tuning our MPLS network for the past
few months. The guys on NSP are very knowledgable so if you get stuck,
try posting on the forum. Special thanks to Oli whose been helping me a
fair bit :)

Here's a book I recommend.
Read the first few chapters to give you a good foundation.

* MPLS Fundamentals by Luc De Ghein

Also nothing beats some hands on experience and these labs are a great
introduction.
I used GNS3 to simulate these labs (http://www.gns3.net/). 

* MPLS Series - Vol. 1 - Basic MPLS
http://blog.humanmodem.com/?p=115

* MPLS Series - Vol. 2 - MPLS VPN
http://blog.humanmodem.com/?p=121

I also went through the Cisco PEC (Partner Education Connection) web
site and listened to most of this series:
* Implementing Cisco Multi-Protocol Label Switching (MPLS) 2.1 - EXPRESS

Hi,

Can you please recommend/refer me to some good books/online-resource on
IP/MPLS design? I am thinking of making an investment and buying a few
books. Will appreciate if you can recommend any titles.


Thanks.

Junaid
