GMPLS

Key features:

+ Written by two industry researchers at the forefront of the development of GMPLS.

+ Provides a practical look at GMPLS protocols for signaling, routing, link and resource management, and traffic engineering.

+ Delves deep into the world of GMPLS applications, including traffic engineering, path computation, layer one VPNs, point-to-multipoint connectivity, service management, and resource protection.

+ Explores three distinct GMPLS control plane architectures: peer, overlay, and hybrid, and explains the GMPLS UNI and NNIs.

+ Explains how provisioning challenges can be met in multi-region networks and details the provisioning systems and tools relied on by the GMPLS control plane, along with the standard MIB modules used to manage a GMPLS system.
