Summary: A complete and concise reference for MPLS
Review: An excellent presentation of the theoretical and practical aspects of MPLS and MPLS VPNs. The authors examine the mechanics of MPLS and they present numerous topologies and configurations for designing and implementing MPLS VPNs. This book is a must for anyone involved with deploying MPLS VPNs.

Summary: Global Knowledge Instructor Review
Review: Great book! I read this one 3 years ago when it was brand new (12/03 now). Only one problem.... a lot of errors and a lot of old command syntax. If you're brand new to MPLS VPNs and Cisco's CLI, buy the CCIP edition of this book with the corrections and updating. If you have "some" experience, buy this book with confidence (I just re-purchased a used copy because I gave my copy away a while ago). Great book!

Summary: A well written book
Review: I have been looking for a good book on MPLS. This book covers Frame-mode VPNs in great detail. I have read this book repeatedly and have absorbed a great deal on Frame based MPLS VPNs. The examples presented are succinct and to the point.The discussion on Internet connectivity to MPLS VPNs is also presented very well. I would encourage the authors to discuss hybrid IPsec and MPLS VPNs and ATM VPNs in the next edition. All in all, a well written book.

Summary: What a geat book!
Review: Ivan and Jim did a splendid job. I haven't read such a well-written book in a long time. It is perfect for not only the people who are looking for a thorough understanding of MPLS, but also the begginers who know nothing about it. All the concepts are explained in great detail, and the language is so smooth, it makes the reading an enjoyment. Since the book is mainly focused on MPLS, you will need a good understanding of how BGP works before start reading this book (such as BGP synchronization and how to get aroung it). I am sure you will like this book.

Summary: We need another revision ... will follow up :)
Review: The CCIP edition of the book was written to comply with the MPLS 1.0 course from Cisco. In the meantime, Cisco rolled out MPLS 2.0 and MPLS 2.1, which expand (but shallow) the coverage of the MPLS technology and include additional topics not even implemented at the time when the CCIP edition of the book was written. It looks like a new CCIP edition of this MPLS classic is needed ... thanks for the hint, will start working on it :)

Summary: A complete and concise reference for MPLS
Review: This is a very useful reference book that had enough details for almost anybody. With the informaiton provided you can design, implement, and deploy MPLS-VPNs in a short timeframe. In addition, there are several good overviews for new MPLSers. Job very well done!
