Implement the design principles and configurations behind MPLS-based VPNs for broadband access networks
The book discusses how MPLS and its VPN service are best used in a broadband environment, concentrating on key design issues and solutions, including
- How to manage tens of thousands of interfaces and host routes and hundreds of dynamic VPNs
- When a Virtual Home Gateway is necessary
- Why use dynamic address assignment
- How routes should be summarized into the core
Deploy MPLS VPNs successfully in broadband networks with Building MPLS-Based Broadband Access VPNs. This book helps you understand why and how today"s broadband networks function, covering the principal access technologies: DSL, Ethernet, and cable. The book also examines the different tunneling protocols used for VPN solutions today, namely GRE, IPSec, and L2TP, with examples of how these solutions are deployed and a discussion of their strengths and weaknesses.
Building MPLS-Based Broadband Access VPNs also includes an in-depth description of the IOS VRF Lite, which helps you use VRF-aware features with an IP core.
Detailed descriptions of the technologies, design principles, network configurations, and case studies are provided throughout the book, helping you develop a pragmatic understanding of MPLS-based broadband access VPNs.
- Obtain a realistic understanding of large-scale broadband access network design requirements
- Recognize the business impact of using MPLS to provide access VPN services, including the advantages of QoS, availability, and provisioning
- Use MPLS in access VPN and transport networks and deal with the unique scalability problems that such networks pose
- Leverage VRF-aware features to deploy IP-based VPNs
- Includes detailed Cisco IOS configuration examples based on real-world scenarios
