Features: This book is suitable for engineering and technical personnel engaged in the design, management, and maintenance of computer networks. It enables network engineers and administrators to quickly and efficiently learn AToM and L2TPv3 technology. This book can also serve as a reference for undergraduate and graduate students in computer and communication disciplines studying second-layer VPNs. The book introduces the concept of second-layer virtual private networks (VPNs) and describes second-layer VPN technology through introductory case studies and extensive design scenarios. It provides readers who wish to meet those requirements with help by explaining the history and implementation details of the two technologies available in the Cisco Unified VPN suite—AToM based on MPLS core and L2TPv3 based on local IP core. The structure of the book first emphasizes the advantages and implementation requirements of second-layer VPNs, comparing them with third-layer VPNs, and then introduces each available solution in a progressive manner.
