Features: This book introduces the development history of IP and switching technologies from the perspective of network technology development, covering 8 chapters for readers. It focuses on explaining the concepts, principles, and protocols of Multi-Protocol Label Switching (MPLS), while also providing a relatively comprehensive discussion on the implementation and future prospects of MPLS. Based on related projects of the 863 Plan, this book primarily relies on research achievements in MPLS technology, combining the development of other related network technologies to systematically introduce the role and significance of MPLS in computer network architecture, network service models, network protocols, network algorithms, and network application engineering. It also analyzes the main functions and control mechanisms of its constituent protocols. This book is suitable for science and technology workers and engineering technicians engaged in information network research and implementation, as well as for managers in the information network service and operation industry. It can also serve as a reference textbook for university-level computer network courses.
