Switching in IP Networks: IP Switching, Tag Switching and Related Technologies (The Morgan Kaufmann Series in Networking)
Switching in IP Networks IP Switching Tag Switching and Related Technologies - The Morgan Kaufmann Series in Networking Author:Bruce S. Davie, Paul Doolan, Yakov Rekhter, Bruce Davie Label switching, an economical and efficient technique for message forwarding in IP networks, is fast becoming a widely deployed solution for improving performance, scalability, and functionality. Written by leading experts in the field, this guide explores the underlying technology of label switching and provides a detailed analysis and compari... more »son of approaches developed by Ipsilon, Cisco, Toshiba, and IBM. It also compares label switching with conventional routing, culminating in a discussion of the Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) standard now being developed by the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETP).
This bookâÂÂthe result of a rigorous review process by key designersâÂÂis an invaluable resource to network engineers and designers for evaluating the use of label switching in their own networks.
* Explains the benefits and limitations of label switching technology
* Compares performance, scalability, and robustness of IP Switching, Tag Switching, Cell Switching Router (CSR), and Aggregate Router-based IP Switching (ARIS)
* Reveals how label switching simplifies IP over ATM integration problems
* Presents the latest snapshot of the MPLS standard, which incorporates the strengths of several of the approaches discussed« less
