Explore the emerging definitions, protocols, and standards for SDN—software-defined, software-driven, programmable networks—with this comprehensive guide. Two senior network engineers show you what’s required for building networks that use software for bi-directional communication between applications and the underlying network infrastructure. This vendor-agnostic book also presents several SDN use cases, including bandwidth scheduling and manipulation, input traffic and triggered actions, as well as some interesting use cases around big data, data center overlays, and network-function virtualization. Discover how enterprises and service providers alike are pursuing SDN as it continues to evolve. Explore the current state of the OpenFlow model and centralized network control Delve into distributed and central control, including data plane generation Examine the structure and capabilities of commercial and open source controllers Survey the available technologies for network programmability Trace the modern data center from desktop-centric to highly distributed models Discover new ways to connect instances of network-function virtualization and service chaining Get detailed information on constructing and maintaining an SDN network topology Examine an idealized SDN framework for controllers, applications, and ecosystems

MPLS-enabled networks are experiencing significant growth, yet practical guidance on managing these networks has been scarce. This book is the first comprehensive resource for mastering MPLS management technologies and techniques relevant to classic MPLS networks, traffic-engineered networks, and VPNs. Authored by a co-creator of the current MPLS management standards, it delivers detailed and authoritative insights into official MIBs, covering essential topics such as syntax, access levels, and object interaction. It also explores third-party management interfaces, including tools for traffic metering and growth prediction. Network operators, device engineers, and MPLS application developers will find this book indispensable for leveraging MPLS's full potential. Key features include exclusive focus on tools and techniques for controlling, monitoring, debugging, and optimizing MPLS networks, along with authoritative information from a leading expert in MPLS and GMPLS standards. The book addresses both standards-based and proprietary management technologies and includes interviews with influential figures in MPLS development. A companion website offers updates on MPLS management and additional resources, with a second volume planned to present best-practice case studies from real companies managing MPLS networks.
