Deploying Next Generation Multicast-enabled Applications: Label Switched Multicast for MPLS VPNs, VPLS, and Wholesale Ethernet

Deploying Next Generation Multicast-Enabled Applications: Label Switched Multicast for MPLS VPNs, VPLS, and Wholesale Ethernet provides a comprehensive discussion of Multicast and MVPN standards―next-generation Multicast-based standards, Multicast Applications, and case studies with detailed configurations. <br>Focusing on three vendors―Juniper, Cisco, and Alcatel-Lucent―the text features illustrations that contain configurations of JUNOS, TiMOS (Alcatel’s OS), or Cisco IOS, and each configuration is explained in great detail. Multiple- rather than single-vendor configurations were selected for the sake of diversity as well as to highlight the direction in which the overall industry is going rather than that of a specific vendor. Beginning with a discussion of the building blocks or basics of IP Multicast, the book then details applications and emerging trends, including vendor adoptions, as well as the future of Multicast. <br>The book is written for engineers, technical managers, and visionaries engaged in the development of next-generation IP Multicast infrastructures.<ul><li>Offers contextualized case studies for illustrating deployment of the Next Generation Multicast technology</li> <p><li>Provides the background necessary to understand current generation multi-play applications and their service requirements</li> <p><li>Includes practical tips on various migration options available for moving to the Next Generation framework from the legacy</li></ul>
