Features: Based on the discussion of the overall architecture of multi-service switches, this book demonstrates the coexistence of MPLS and PNNI in multi-service switching networks. This allows telecom operators and large enterprise customers to provide different services through different control planes on a common telecommunications network infrastructure without interference. The book is divided into three parts: an introduction to the architecture of multi-service switching networks; an introduction to the MPLS architecture, configuration, and design in multi-service switches; and discussions on multi-service switching technologies by PNNI and the MPLS Forum.
